I boarded my first jumbo airliner when I was 12 years old. The anticipation, eagerness and expectation of flying across the country to an exotic location—yes, Washington DC can seem exotic to a young boy—instilled in me, at an early age, a love for travel and a yearning for adventure. As a teenager I traveled extensively throughout North America, eventually branching out to Europe in my twenties. Many of these trips were solo, and in addition to my travel bug, I developed a passion for uncovering and experiencing international cuisine at a local level.
After college I continued to travel extensively for corporate business, and I found myself drawn to the great capital cities of Europe again and again, as well as being called to new locations in Mexico, the South Pacific, and elsewhere.
My love for the culinary arts led me to start my own business as a personal chef, where I was able to apply my travel experiences to my trade. After more than a decade as a culinary entrepreneur, I found I could marry my passion for adventure and travel with my love of food and wine by offering a service to discerning world travelers.
My favorite city, hands down, is Amsterdam. I also adore London, Paris, Melbourne, and Charleston, SC.
