Our Personal Chef Team

With more than 25 years of experience in the culinary and hospitality industries, I bring a passion for exceptional food, innovative menu development, and outstanding service to my role as Chef de Cuisine for Eats Amore delivered by Honest to Goodness Seattle meal delivery service. As a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, I have built my career through progressive culinary positions, advancing from line cook to executive chef while working in California, Texas, and Washington State.

My approach to cooking is shaped by decades of exploring restaurants, hotels, and culinary traditions around the world. I am particularly inspired by the rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, especially the food cultures of Spain and North Africa. These influences inform my approach to ingredient selection, flavor development, and traditional preparation methods, including pickling, curing, smoking, and preserving. I enjoy combining these time-honored techniques with contemporary creativity to develop distinctive menus that celebrate quality ingredients and global culinary traditions.

In addition to my work in professional kitchens, I love creating memorable Seattle private chef experiences and personalized in-home dining. I enjoy designing customized menus that reflect each client's preferences and bringing restaurant-quality cuisine into the comfort of their home. From thoughtful menu planning to careful preparation and presentation, I believe private dining should be a personalized experience built around exceptional food, hospitality, and attention to detail.

Through Eats Amore, I apply my culinary expertise and operational experience to delivering high-quality meals through a dependable Seattle meal delivery service. I understand that outstanding meal delivery requires more than great recipes. It depends on careful ingredient sourcing, proper food storage and handling, consistent preparation, and rigorous attention to food safety and quality. My goal is to help ensure that every meal you receive reflects the same standards of excellence, care, and craftsmanship to nourish your family.

Throughout my career, I have developed extensive experience in restaurant operations, team leadership, regulatory compliance, and organizational development. I believe that successful hospitality begins with a commitment to quality, cleanliness, safe working practices, and consistent service. Just as importantly, I believe that understanding the needs of each guest and creating positive, lasting impressions are essential to building trust and long-term customer relationships.

Whether developing innovative menus, supporting the operations of a meal delivery service, or creating personalized private chef experiences in the Puget Sound region, I remain committed to continuous learning and culinary excellence.

For me, cooking is a lifelong journey of discovery, creativity, and connection — one that allows me to share the world's diverse flavors while providing thoughtful, high-quality food and hospitality to every guest.
