Get to know me better

Private chef with 14 years in homes and yacht galleys. I cook bold, beautiful food, read the room, and make the whole night feel easy.

I’ve spent more than a decade cooking in private homes and on yachts. I pay attention to how people actually like to eat—not how a chef thinks they should. My food is fresh, colorful, full of flavor, and usually a little Mediterranean. I’m equally happy making a beautiful dinner party or the Tuesday lunch someone looks forward to all week. I’m calm, clean, resourceful, and good at changing direction without making it everyone else’s problem. I care about the whole experience, but the food is the reason you'll call me back.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

how I care for people.

I learned to cook at...

the Jersey shore - where my family is from. Seafood, fresh pasta, and wine. I cook from scratch.

A cooking secret...

ingredients with instinct. Oh, and pairing wine and food is second nature.
