I began working in restaurants as
a waiter and quickly moved to
the kitchen. I have worked in many restaurants under some highly noted chefs
and have carved out a very solid background as a chef. This has allowed
me to work in many situations where I adapt very easily, as a chef of
high-end restaurant, to owning my own catering company. I have worked
as a personal chef for Donna Karan for the past 3 years, and for other
celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, and
Steven Seagal. I have worked as a food stylist both for magazines and
for movies and commercials.

During this period my philosophy of food began to change, gone are the
more traditional thoughts and relationships with food to be replaced with a
more nuturing and healing relationship with what one puts into their bodies. I use food more as medicine. I believe in using fresh and organic produce
and most of the food I prepare is termed, living food.
I have been a vegetarian for over 25 years and I truly believe that by
teaching people to understand their bodies they can better serve themselves
for a more energetic and medicine free lifestyle. It all starts with the life
force that passes your lips.
Having a medical background has proved fortunate to allow me to understand
the human body and to teach others. I have a natural curiosity and look
forward to being able to research things further.
I have began creating simple 5 day nutritional cleanses for the average person
who has never fasted before. These are proving very successful and I am
documenting the results, for future use. At this particular point in time I am consulting for the Como Hotel and resort
group, working developing spa food with an emphasis on raw foods.
I am a Seeker of Truth and a gatherer of information, I continue to search and
gather information everywhere I go.
