When you find something that works, you keep doing it. That's what I've learned after 38 years, and that's what inspires me to sharpen my craft as I serve my clients.

As an 8-year old boy, cooking started as an escape from doing backyard chores. I remember spending hours in the cooking section of bookstores, and it wasn't long until my parents realized I was more useful preparing dinner than mowing the lawn.

My time in culinary school gave me a solid foundation of classical cuisine, inspiring me to work in high-end fine dining restaurants in San Francisco, San Diego, and New York City. And the skills I learned from the talented chefs of those restaurants formed the base of my own business, Seasoned Catering and Events.

As a private chef, I'm now able to offer the highest level of service to my clients. And service has always been at the heart of my work. Because I believe in making life not just easier and more convenient, but profoundly satisfying.
