About

I’m a well-traveled private chef with 5+ years in business (privately ) offering bespoke in-home dining, dinner parties, events, and health-conscious family meal prep. I spent most of my career (10 years ) cooking in restaurants around the world before moving into private chef work, including positions at multiple Michelin starred establishments . My experience with high-profile and UHNW families in San Francisco, San Diego and abroad means I understand discretion, consistency, and tailored service. I cook a wide range of cuisines, with favorites including Italian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean, and I’m happy to design menus around your tastes and dietary needs. My resume and references are available on request. Feel free to message me about your upcoming event or ongoing private chef needs, and I’ll get back to you promptly. I look forward to cooking for you.
