CAREER OBJECTIVE / PERSONAL PROFILE With 17 years practical Chef experience in the Restaurant Industry, I would herewith like to apply for a position in the Yachting Industry. I am always excited by food, and culinary art, and driven every day, to throw my love, creativeness, and true passion for food, into the mix. I started in Restaurant kitchens at the age of 13, and I am naturally bound to follow a remarkable career in the Culinary World, exploring the vast culinary trends by travelling the oceans, hopefully for the next 12 to 16 years, to become one of the World’s Best Chef at Sea. I got my sea-legs from a very young age on our family owned power boats, spending time in Sodwana, Durban, and Cape Town on the Indian and Atlantic Ocean over a period of many years. I have never had motion-sickness. I am an exceptionally driven, busy, active, and dedicated person, and I have a great sense of humor, but I am at the same time very focused on the work at hand, Safety, and exceptional Service & Standards.
