Born and raised in Montreal. I have lived in Toronto as well and have been in New York since 2005. I grew up working in my family's Italian bakery/deli when I was 10 years old and fell in love with New York during my summers spent in Bensonhurst with my grandparents and very large family.I have been fortunate enough to work with and for some of the best people in the food,hospitality, and wine world and I am very excited to start this next chapter in my career. My free time is spent kissing and hugging my wife and two boys.
