THIS IS MY STORY
I've experienced a lot of fun, interesting, and amazing things in my nearly 60 years of life. And there's so much more for me to see and do. And I want to take others along with me for the ride.
​
Together, my wife and I have 7 kids and 8 grandkids. I've been a Dad raising kids for 38 years now and still have a few more years to go.
​
I'm a techie that grew up in Silicon Valley then made the Seattle area my home more than 30 years ago. I have 30+ years of technology industry experience from tech support to CEO.
​​
I'm a private chef because cooking is a passion of mine. People hire me to provide a fine-dining experience for small intimate events.
​
I'm an entrepreneur. I've started several successful ventures over the years. I particularly enjoy creating products and businesses that represent the unique style and culture of the Pacific Northwest.
​
I'm a photographer and videographer. Between my kids and grandkids, the traveling that my wife and I do, and the beautiful scenery of the region where I live, I have plenty of opportunities to take advantage of my camera.

I run a Private Chef business known as fuego. I specialize in Mexican and Latin American cuisine.
​
fuego's style is tapas (exquisite small plates with a wide variety of flavors, colors, and textures) paired with wines from the Pacific Northwest.
I also do live, online and interactive cooking classes. Come join me in my studio kitchen where I will walk you through recipes, help you to develop your cooking skills, as well as give you tips and tricks that you can use daily to improve your cooking.
