  Greater New York City Area Freelance cheffing was a great liaison from owning my business to owning my craft. I was delighted at the opportunity to show up, roll out my knives and work. This gave me the opportunity to kick ass with the many creative caterers through the city. I work everything from prep and set up, to Hors D'oeuvres, cooking, plating, serve out, proofer cooking, and garnishing.

The Regal Vegan

• Executive Chef/CEO

  • 2007 - Aug 2018

  As CEO and founder of Regal Vegan Inc, I lived the cliché that an entrepreneur is the head cook and bottle washer. In my case, it rang all too true. But running a business is the most exciting and often most painful way to do the things you love. With my ever vertical learning curve I was able to create just about anything I could dream of - from building my booth at Smorgasburg market, to sealing my first deal with our Northeast Region distributor.

In my case, it rang all too true. But running a business is the most exciting and often most painful way to do the things you love. With my ever vertical learning curve I was able to create just about anything I could dream of - from building my booth at Smorgasburg market, to sealing my first deal with our Northeast Region distributor. I got to both write the copy, and create the products that went to on to sell 3 skus across the Northeast. I managed a team, and still took part in weekly manufacturing or our products. I was the face of the brand at 1000's of product demos, and called back every customer, be it business or consumer. Along the way I learned how to do, and be more than a dream chaser, but a dream catcher. Regal Vegan Inc. was designed with the mission of delivering Love, Respect and Other nutrients to all those who choose good food; respect for the animals, the people and of course, the planet. What began as a boutique catering company, delivering gourmet, 3-course vegan dinners to discriminating diners evolved into a premium health food manufacturing company famous for its "Faux Gras®" and for being the first vegan food booth at Smorgasburg market.
