Personal Chef

Introduction: I have worked for the last 10 years traveling the seas as an executive chef onboard private and charter yachts. In addition to chef work onboard I purchased and paired wines as well as planned all parties aboard a variety of yachts. Before yachting I was a chef on land for 10 years. I have worked in restaurants, had my own catering company and was in charge of a large catering/prepared food operation. My favorite thing in yachting was finding the ingredients that were local and fresh and highlighting them in my food. Going to the market in Cannes or Barcelona was especially thrilling. As was trying to procure food in remote places where often I would knock on doors and ask if I could buy eggs from their chickens or mangoes from their tree. It was such and adventure! I bring that adventurous spirit to my cooking where ever I go.
