screenplays and novels were personal and never open to be published,
until now. His debut novel The Hound of Heaven- 'No man can
serve two masters' is the first book in a promising series of fiction.
His busy long weeks as a chef in New York City changed when he was
personally selected to be a live-in private chef for Brian Wilson of the
Beach Boys. It was there, in Malibu, he found time to explore creative
writing. Troubled by seeing dependency firsthand, he became determined
to reach those who struggle with addictions, and believes the power of
music and story can do so.
He's the youngest of eight siblings raised in Rockland County, New York.His love for the culinary arts has opened doors to some of the finest
kitchens in NY and LA, and to the addictions that can be acquired in
them. He enjoys mentoring upcoming chefs with his culinary insights,
positive outlook and personal stories. He encourages them to write their
next chapters in life and to make each one better than the last.
He resides in the tristate area of Manhattan with his lovely wife Laurie
and enjoys the tempo of the city as well as the still sounds of the country
and traveling. He cherishes time with his large extended family and
enjoys making memories and meals with them often. Especially around
the holidays.view less
