Chef de Cuisine

David’s love for cooking began in his mom’s kitchen as a child. It was there that he learned and began to fully understand and appreciate the importance of showing love through a great dish.

At the age of 15 David’s formal culinary career began and he started working part time as a dishwasher. As years went by, his cooking and passion for the hospitality industry grew and he rose through the ranks, eventually landing as the Executive Chef of a small restaurant in Humboldt Park.

In late 2013, he decided to focus on opening his own restaurant along with his older brother. After constructing a solid business plan, in 2014 Whisk Chicago came about and his dreams of becoming a restaurateur became a reality. Fast forward to 2019 and David became a partner for a hospitality group that focused on consulting, concept development, and training. He went on to work in concepts all over the city including Lincoln Park, Logan Square, and Lakeview.

David wants to be an example that no matter where you start, with great attitude and strong effort you can accomplish greater things. He believes that everyone deserves good food!
