Porsche O.

The opportunity to create a Thanksgiving Dinner at the age of 16 sparked my love for the culinary industry. It was during that time I realized that food was more than just for eating.

Being excited about the culinary industry from an early age molded the Chef I am today. Before completing the culinary program at Los Angeles Trade Tech in Los Angeles, CA. I began my culinary career at Il Fornaio Italian Fine Dining Restaurant. I then went on to gain experience with Marriott, INT Hotels, Wolfgang Puck Catering as well as Spago, Beverly Hills . While attending LATTC, I was fortunate to attend the Culinary Olympics in Erfurt, Germany. This experience opened my eyes even more. After graduating in the top 5% of my class I accepted the opportunity to continue on my culinary journey with Guckenheimer at Google in Los Angeles, CA. After working my way up to becoming an Executive Chef at Google. I was later offered a Culinary Director position at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, CA. My family and I relocated to Houston, TX and I accepted a position at Houston Space Center as their Executive Chef. I am currently working as a private chef helping others achieve their goals in the culinary world.

My love for the industry is not just simply food. But it's the creativity I am able to provide to each of my clients. Its the local farmers market products that will help enhance the flavors of my dishes and finally my favorite its simply making my clients overall culinary experience awesome!

I've had a team of 10 people to 120 people. Everyday in my commercial kitchen the goal was to always help my cooks learn something new and help them to achieve their goals.

I am excited to have this opportunity to share my knowledge and help my future students. I am excited to connect and to learn more about your goals. No goal is too small or too big.
