ORLANDO BEST PERSONAL CHEF

---

​My dream was always to be a great chef, early on my grandfather inspired me and taught me our famous family Italian recipes; passed down from generations.  After graduating high school my grandfather encouraged me to go into the U.S. Navy, to start my culinary career.  After finishing the Navy Culinary program, I quickly ascended from assistant galley cook to the Admiral's Private Chef.  This was an amazing time during my career; because, this is where I first learned the art of fine dining; while serving dignitaries all over the world.  With an honorable discharged, I went to college and received a degree in Hospitality Management and landed a position as Chef Tournade at Arthur's 27 (5 Star - 5 Diamond Award Winning Restaurant) where a famous chef took me under his wings, just like my Grandfather and help me fine tune my culinary skills.  

During this time, I always had an interest in nutrition, then an incredible opportunity arose and was promoted as the first "Spa-Chef" at Walt Disney's Buena Vista Palace Resort and Spa.  As Spa Chef, I developed healthy recipes and trained chefs throughout the company; so Disney's guest could have a healthy dining alternative.  I was then recruited as the Executive Chef for a natural food restaurant chain, with nine locations. It was here where he started getting a lot of request for special diets (gluten, dairy, vegan, etc.) and created meals for customers with food allergies and special diets.  During this time I went to Health Science University and became a Certified Nationalist.  I saw how great of a need there was for nutritional cooking,   special diets and dietary needs; so I decided to open Healthy Chef Creations.  Healthy Chef Creations was the first customizable fresh organic nationwide home  meal delivery service on the market. We started delivering throughout Central Florida, but quickly grew nationwide.  During this time, I developed the first fully customizable fresh organic meal program for pregnant moms, professional athletes, baby, and business professionals that were foodies but into health foods.  Each meal was specifically catered to ones special dietary restrictions or diet.   

In 2014, I sold the business because it was to stressful on my family and now I enjoy being Orlando's Best Personal Chef for families on vacation or wanting a catered dinner party or needing a private chef throughout Central Florida.  Looking back, I now see the hand of God directing me and giving me this gift to serve others.
