I turn fine dining into a calm, rhythmic sensory experience inspired by Costa Rica.

I’m a Costa Rican executive chef and professional musician, and my culinary identity is rooted in the harmony, peace, and natural beauty of my homeland. Trained at Le Cordon Bleu, I cook with the “Pura Vida” balance: technical precision paired with deep respect for nature’s ingredients.

My journey has taken me from Barcelona and Malaga to exclusive clubs in New York, North Carolina, and Florida, shaping a global palate while keeping my essence. As a 2024 Culinary Continental Cup award winner (3rd Place), I approach every plate like a musical composition—when you invite me into your home, I bring more than a meal; I bring a peaceful and harmonious experience.

My secret in the kitchen is blending the rhythmic precision of a professional percussionist with the peaceful harmony of my Costa Rican roots and Le Cordon Bleu technique.

I cook with intention, technique, and a sense of rhythm.

I compose balanced experiences

For me, cooking is the art of composing peaceful and balanced experiences inspired by nature, where every flavor has a purpose and every detail feels harmonious.

I bring international refinement

I learned my craft at Le Cordon Bleu and the Latin University of Costa Rica, and I refined it through years of international experience in Costa Rica, Spain, Colombia, and the USA.

I blend music and cuisine

My philosophy is to merge the rhythmic precision I developed as a percussionist with the calm harmony of my Costa Rican roots, supported by classic Le Cordon Bleu technique.
