The Miami Personal Chef

Growing up in a family that owned fine dining restaurants, I developed an interest and passion in the culinary field. I followed my interests and took positions, such as Cook’s Helper and Prep Cook, where I received my initial education and began advancing my career. Today I am an Executive Chef with 30 years worth of experience.
​
To complete my educational credentials, I attended Florida International University School of Hospitality Management, where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in 1988. I am a licensed food manager in the state of Florida and well versed in all the aspects of food service sanitation. I know how to procure the finest quality food items for preparation for my employers, whether I am in an urban setting or down island on yacht charters where my hobbies of sport fishing, scuba diving and spear fishing, have established a reputation for me in the local yachting industry as “the Chef that jumps off your yacht and returns with dinner”.

I have supervised a staff as large as 70 people and have led deck crews on several large motor yachts. I have managed large estate homes while also supervising construction crews on large scale remodeling projects.

I am experienced in the supervision of children, including daily tutorials of homework and hold credentials in swimming, scuba instruction and medic first aid instruction. I hold a rank of black belt in Chinese Boxing and have experience as a bodyguard and chauffeur with an excellent driving record.

In conclusion, if your yacht, home or corporation is in need of an experienced and dedicated hospitalitarian, please consider my credentials to fill your need. I am an expert in my field while possessing sound judgement, personal integrity and a strong work ethic. I will provide you with the hospitality management services for you at a level that will surely exceed your expectations.

Sincerely, Chef Stuart Shaw
