I was born & raised in a suburb of Boston by my Parents who owned an Italian Restaurant. I learned cooking from both of them from a young age but a passion for the stage took me in another direction. I've had a successful career in entertainment industry for years as a Singer/Songwriter/Actor/Vocal Coach/Personality but I auditioned for MasterChef Season 10 and won a coveted white apron to make the TOP 20. That experience took my creativity to a new realm...the kitchen. I want to take my BIG Personality + my BIG passion for food and put it in a place where the entire globe can see it! I hope you enjoy yourself, laugh, learn a new trick or two and are inspired to cook!
