About

I’m a classically trained chef with over 10 years of experience in fine dining, luxury hotels, and private households. My work for high-net-worth individuals has mostly been shore-based across Europe and the Caribbean, where I developed a strong sense of discretion, efficiency, and quality. Now, I’m fully focused on transitioning into the yachting industry and looking forward to a program that’s open to giving a motivated, skilled chef the opportunity to prove himself onboard. I hold valid STCW and ENG1 certificates and am open to roles as Sole Chef, Crew Cook, or Sous Chef. Clean, calm, and committed – ready to bring structure, taste, and energy to a galley team.
