I was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, and I’m now based in Woodstock, Ontario. I trained at Humber College of Applied Arts & Technology, combining Business Management with Advanced Culinary Arts—so I approach every service with both culinary discipline and smooth, professional execution.

My career began in fine dining at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, and it grew through roles in Ontario and British Columbia—from Chef de Partie to leading kitchens and working as a Sous Chef in top restaurants. Today, I bring that experience, precision, and passion into every event, designing refined meals that feel personal, polished, and unforgettable.

Cooking is an ongoing, everlasting, never-ending experiment—and an adventurous art form!

I cook with curiosity, technique, and inspiration—so every course feels intentional.

I treat every menu like an experiment worth savoring

For me, cooking is an ongoing, everlasting, never-ending experiment and an adventurous art form—so I keep flavors vibrant, plating thoughtful, and every course full of momentum.

I learned my foundations at home and refined them professionally

I learned to cook at home with my Hungarian and Brazilian relatives when I was young, and I later sharpened that foundation through formal culinary training and years in fine dining and hotel kitchens.

I let inspiration lead—while I keep execution precise

My secret in the kitchen is simple: I allow inspiration to guide me, then I pair it with discipline and attention to detail so the experience feels both creative and flawlessly run.
