Chef Jav's professional career started as a software engineer in Cambridge, Massachusetts where he served for 10 years in a small firm. Then an inner calling drove him into the culinary world where he knew he belonged all along. He attended Johnson & Wales University and graduated with honors. He received the Silver Key award and was inducted into the Alpha Beta Kappa society as a result of his diligent work ethics.

Since then he has grown in the culinary world by having worked in prestigious places such as the Top of the Hub and The Harvard Club of Boston. Honing down his skills only came natural to him since his passion for food was the driving force. At the Top of the Hub he was assistant Banquet Chef and then took on as Sous chef in the restaurant creating innovative dishes and winning praise and respective gesture from his co-workers and guests as well. In addition he has participated in the ACF Junior culinary competitions back in 2001 where his team took home the silver medal.

As a way of reaching out to people and wanting to see them enjoy better wholesome food at home he decided to come full circle to a venture he looked into just a few years ago. That venture was in becoming a Personal Chef. His goal is to bring back the quality of time and life back to those who have lost it to either take out ordering, dining out, and unexciting dinner quests at home. Aware of the desire that people have for the freedom from slaving in the kitchen, improving their eating habits and wanting more family time, he came up with The Dinner Maker.
