About me

I’m a Culinary Institute of America Graduate and Certified Executive Chef with over 20 years of experience. I’ve been a Chef in New York City, Boston, Phoenix, and Austin Texas. I started in the industry when I was 14 years old working as a cleaning kid in butcher shops in my hometown of Poughkeepsie, New York. I then became an apprentice butcher and then moved on to working in restaurants. I’ve cooked for such celebrities as… Jackie O, Donald Trump, Margaret Thatcher, John Gotti, Muhammad Ali, Jamie Lee Curtis, Telly Savalis and Peter Falk.
