He’s a personal chef and culinary consultant who’s made a name for himself by blending healthy, plant-based cuisine with high-profile collaborations. One of the most notable moments in his career was co-authoring a cookbook alongside reality star and girlfriend Carole Radziwill—a project that brought their shared passion for food and wellness into the spotlight. He primarily focuses on vegan and vegetarian dishes, crafting flavorful meals that are as nutritious as they are delicious.
Before all the fame, though, his journey started in a much more grounded place. Back when he was a student at Colorado State University, he began developing a deep interest in endurance sports like mountain biking and running. As anyone training intensely knows, fueling the body becomes essential—and that necessity pushed him toward cooking. He started experimenting with healthy foods to support his active lifestyle, and before long, what began as a practical need turned into a full-blown passion for the culinary arts.
Interestingly, fate played a role in his rise when he worked as a private chef at a dinner party featured on an episode of Real Housewives of New York. That event wasn’t just another gig—it was where he first crossed paths with Carole. Their connection sparked both personally and professionally, eventually leading to creative projects together, including the cookbook that helped elevate his profile. Through dedication, timing, and a love for wholesome cooking, he’s built a career that feels as authentic as the meals he prepares.
He started a non-profit farm in Nicaragua, which he named Finca Santa Marta. This initiative was close to his heart, and he poured a lot of effort into making Finca Santa Marta a sustainable and community-focused project. Over time, Finca Santa Marta grew into a symbol of his dedication to social change and environmental stewardship. Through his leadership, he ensured that Finca Santa Marta not only provided food but also created opportunities for local families. His vision for Finca Santa Marta continues to inspire others who believe in grassroots solutions.
