Chef in Chevy Chase, Maryland

To whom it may concern, I have over 15 years of Private Residence catering and staff management. As the Private Executive Chef to the Ambassador of Canada in Washington DC, I executed breakfasts, lunches, dinners, buffets and receptions for 2 to a 1000 people. I am professional, emotionally mature and will adapt to any requests by a guest or employer. As the Private Chef to the Ambassador of Canada, I designed, shopped for and executed all weekly family menus and Official functions held at the Embassy Chancery. I possess expertise in French, Italian, Asian and Mediterranean cooking techniques and flavor profiles. I am well versed in wine-to-food pairing. I was instrumental in developing the Canadian Foreign Affairs Wine Initiative Program. I have strong team building and training skills. I have opened a new mid-sized hotel from the ground up. I hired and trained all staff from dishwashers to Sous-Chefs. I am a strong manager that is well versed in technical and interpersonal communication skills. I am proficient in Microsoft Office, Excel and Google Docs. Thank you for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Thomas Naylor
