I’m a Michelin-trained Executive Chef, restaurant builder, and culinary strategist with 15+ years leading top-tier kitchens from Miami to Idaho. I blend creative excellence with operational mastery so your experience feels effortless—thoughtful menus, flawless execution, and service that stays one step ahead.

Outside the kitchen, I’m a father and fitness-driven entrepreneur, and I bring that same discipline and energy into every event—whether I’m crafting a refined private dinner, building a bold pizza night, or elevating brunch into something truly special.

My secret in the kitchen is listening—to the ingredients, the energy of the room, and the story my guest wants to taste.

What you can expect when you cook with me

Service-first cooking

For me, cooking is a personal act of service—so I curate intimate, unforgettable moments through every ingredient, every course, and every detail.

Michelin-level discipline

I learned to cook in the high-pressure crucible of New York’s Michelin-starred kitchens, where precision wasn’t optional—it was survival, and I still bring that standard to every plate I serve.

Presence and intuition

My secret in the kitchen is listening—to what the ingredients want to be, to the energy in the room, and to the story you want to taste—so the meal feels made for you, not just served to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 91.67 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Chef's special and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
