For over 10 years Juan served in U.S. Military as light/heavy wheeled mechanic with pride and honor and multiple deployments overseas. Unfortunately, during one deployment he suffered injuries which ended his military career. Shortly after that he developed severe food allergies that has since prevented him from eating any unknown products without worrying about a possible trip to the ER. So, Juan had to make everything from scratch so that he knew each ingredient. Over time, Juan realized that this connection with the ingredients was something he really connected with; he had found his "calling".

         

Thus was the emerging of a new passion!

Chef Juan enjoys experimenting with chemical reactions from different ingredients, as well as flavor profiles in both culinary cuisines, baking, and pastries. With his sensitive palate and drive for perfection, he only creates beautiful and tasty products.

         

Chef Juan received a Bachelor's degree in Culinary Management from The International Culinary School at the Art Institute. Hoping one to open up a restaurant where he can showcase his culinary talent and pastry skills.
