I am an Executive Chef and Culinary Director with extensive experience improving operations and developing personnel for boutique hotels, banquets, and restaurants. In fast-paced facilities with ever-changing events and activities, I am at my best and driven to exceed all quality standards for hospitality, cuisine, atmosphere, and service. I have a proven reputation for mastering multinational cuisines, innovative techniques, and efficient operations. Through solid relationships with farmers and fishermen, I procure the best and freshest locally sourced ingredients, create high-end, approachable dining experiences, and ensure exceptional service for patrons while also growing establishments. As an English and Spanish-speaking leader, I foster nurturing environments where I implement effective processes and procedures, deliver training and instruction to team members, and inspire productivity and excellence. I successfully manage competing priorities, quickly resolve issues, and delegate effectively to meet all objects. My efforts have led to millions in sales, lowered food and labor costs, surpassed safety requirements, and the highest employee opinion survey ratings. With these skills and talents, I am open to relocating and exploring new opportunities in culinary service.
