Manager Service

SALES MANAGER

My commitment to service began with my Family who had been in the

restaurant business since 1959. From the beginning, I was immersed in this

business and made the choice at a very early age to be a service provider.

I have had great success throughout my years of catering, whether it has

been in the mobile lunch service or in the most prestigious homes of Orange

County. My clients have grown to trust in me and know I deliver what I say.

I have always been able to create an event that makes the same clients feel

their event was special and keep them coming back again and again. The

culinary education I received has inspired me to an even higher standard,

it is reflected in the menus I create and the responses from my Clients.

The Service industry is my calling.
