Daily routine consist of opening the club and delegating jobs to prep cooks while I plan out a menu for buffet style dining for Rotory club and yacht club members.

Set dining hall ambience for club and members with a relaxed fine dining "buffet" styled atmosphere.

Executive Sous Chef

Old Cuevas Bistro
03.2015 - 06.2017

Fun atmosphere the owner created by thinking outside the box with creative recipe specs. The owner and myself would brainstorm eclectic ideas that made sense to us but would ultimately fly with customers because the taste of these flavor profiles were true.


We would also allow up and coming chefs create their own dishes and flavor profiles.


Daily creations and recipe specs, also showing the line cooks the exact way every dish was to be prepared, to remain true, and consistent to flavor profiles. Very fun job!

This is the restaurant and the time in my life where my passion for food and beverage exceeded all my expectations. I guess I should say I had my "light bulb" moments. My duties remain the same here as my other job titles, however, my creative juices were at an all time high. During these periods of at N. Beach restaurant, we entered events like Chefs of the Coast, Toast of the Coast, and local cook-offs that we actually came in 1st a few times. I had a really fun crew under me at this time, whereas every single line was passionate and competitive about food of all sorts.
