I’m a 3rd generation, seasoned food entrepreneur and hospitality leader with over a decade of experience owning and operating multiple full-service restaurants, launching innovative food concepts, and scaling consumer-driven brands.
As the founder of Pastanito, Fresh Pasta Fast, I’m leading a bold reimagining of what pasta can be: fresh, vegan-friendly, lightning-fast, and franchise-ready. What began as a restaurant concept is now a vertically integrated brand with in-house manufacturing, national retail distribution, a growing franchise program, and an expanding lineup of fast-casual offerings.
Before Pastanito, I built and ran several full-service restaurants, giving me firsthand insight into the complexities of operations, team development, guest experience, and profitability in both independent and multi-unit settings. That foundation paved the way for a scalable concept like Pastanito — designed to thrive in today’s market through a turnkey franchise model, simplified systems, and a product that genuinely excites customers.
I’m passionate about innovation, building systems that scale, and partnering with people who believe in what we’re creating. Whether it’s a food truck, a drive-thru, or a fresh pasta SKU on retail shelves — we’re creating a brand that delivers flavor and speed without compromise.
📍 Actively growing our national franchise footprint and always open to connecting with brokers, investors, creators, and collaborators who want to build something fresh.
