I’m a Napa Valley–based Executive Chef with over 20 years of experience in fine dining and luxury hospitality, originally from Bayamón, Puerto Rico. I’ve built my career around culinary excellence, innovation, and creating unforgettable dining experiences that feel both elevated and welcoming.

I’ve had the privilege of cooking alongside industry leaders like the Voltaggio brothers, José Andrés, Wolfgang Puck, and Michael Chiarello, and supporting world-class events like the Oscars and the Grammy Awards. Today, I focus on bespoke menus tailored to your occasion—whether it’s an intimate private dinner or an elegant celebration—delivering exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and moments you’ll remember long after the last course.

Honestly, there’s no secret—I’ve poured my heart into what I love, turning passion into a career where every day feels like a dream, not a job.

What you can expect when you invite me into your kitchen

I cook with passion and purpose

Cooking for me is pure passion—it’s a dream I’ve carried since I was a little boy, and I bring that energy into every course I create.

I’m rooted in tradition and trained at the highest level

I learned to cook with my grandmother, and that same fire has carried me into kitchens alongside José Andrés, Michael Voltaggio, and other top chefs—shaping my technique, discipline, and creativity.

I lead with heart, not secrets

There’s no hidden trick behind my food—I pour my heart into what I love, and I treat every experience like it matters, because to me it does.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 195 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Latin American, Chef's special, Local, French and Italian. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night and Corporate. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
