PERSONAL
I learned the art of design and love for food from my amazing parents in Brazil. I cherish the experience of working in their restaurant as a kid. My mom taught me how to make one of the best traditional dishes of our region, Mao de vaca. If your lucky, I will make one for you!

FAVORITE PASTIME
Spending time at my getaway home in upstate NY, Fishing for trout in the reservoir and drinking good French wine. I enjoy entertaining for friends and family. There is nothing more satisfying than watching people enjoy my parties…at home and on the job

UNFULFILLED AMBITION
That is very hard to answer! Once I look back, 17 years ago…moving to a new country without speaking the language…a few years later I’m working with the best. It only gets better from here!
