Born and raised in Venezuela, I started my education in the field of Electrical Engineering, before deciding to pursue my true passion of culinary arts. My family moved to Florida after leaving Venezuela, which is where I studied culinary arts, graduating with honors from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts. I began cooking professionally at the age of 15. Shortly after graduating, I relocated to Houston to pursue my culinary dream and am currently the Executive Chef at the prestigious BraeBurn Country Club.
