I am the Owner and Chef of Smash N Dash and Sexy Food Grill in Wilmington. I am culinarily trained at Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco. I have been cooking for 18 years. I specialize in Latin Cuisine and American Cuisine.

For me, cooking is...

My life, lifestyle and passion. Everything I do revolves around food

I learned to cook at...

Home with my Mother first. My Mother is my first Chef. Then went on to study at Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco CA

A cooking secret...

Is Love! Without Love you don’t have a solid dish.
