I craft refined, travel-inspired menus with Japanese and French technique.

I’m a professional chef with 30 years of experience, and I’ve run my own private chef business for the past 13 years. I’ve worked in both fine dining and casual settings, and I love translating that range into thoughtful, multi-course meals.

Today I focus on Japanese and French techniques to curate an elevated experience, and my work has been featured in Sacramento Magazine, The Sacramento Bee, and on local news.

Authenticity in everything I do.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook from lived experience

Cooking is how I express my travels and experiences, so each course is designed to feel personal, intentional, and full of contrast—bright, savory, and deeply satisfying.

I bring depth from many kitchens

I’ve worked in restaurants and wineries around the Sacramento area, and I’ve learned from many chefs with different backgrounds. That variety shapes how I build menus that feel polished, but never predictable.

I lead with authenticity

Authenticity guides everything I do—from technique and sourcing to how I present each plate—so your experience feels honest, refined, and true to the flavors.

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 144 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 Italian, Mediterranean, Local, Chef's special and Seafood/Fish. 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, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night, Corporate and Foodie adventure. 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.
