Artisan Master Baker Open to U.S. Opportunities

• HORECA Medalist – Bronze (2023) & Silver (2024) for Best Baguette

• Based in Kuwait | Open to relocation | Over 30 years of professional baking experience

As an Austrian Master Baker, Confectioner, and Barista—raised in my parents’ bakery—I bring over 30 years of international expertise and a deep passion for creativity, precision, and dough that tells a story. My career has taken me across Asia, Europe, Oceania, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Africa, leading bakery operations that blend classic European tradition with inspired artisanal excellence. From sourdoughs to handcrafted bread masterpieces, I’ve built bakery operations from the ground up—concept development, kitchen layout, equipment selection, staffing, product creation, calculation, and full-scale launch—turning vision into thriving business.

Whether baking the world’s largest apple cake (176.5m², Guinness Book of Records, 1999) or elevating luxury dining aboard South Africa’s iconic Blue Train, I bring artistry and precision to every bake. From unique large-scale challenges to everyday loaves, every piece I shape is a tribute to craft, precision, and story. I’m actively seeking U.S.-based opportunities—whether as Head Baker, Product Development Manager, or Consultant—within innovative bakery environments that value both craftsmanship and originality.

I do not currently hold a U.S. visa, but I am fully prepared to initiate the application process if sponsorship is available.

Core Competencies:

• Expert in sourdough, baguettes, and international bread varieties
• Handcrafted bread masterpieces and inspired culinary concepts
• Staff training, team leadership, and production optimization
• Recipe R&D and digitization of traditional baking workflows
• Cost control, resource efficiency, and accurate calculation in bakery operations
• Quick learning and effective implementation of new products and technologies
• Comprehensive bakery startup expertise, including kitchen layout and operational design
• Proven ability to customize bakery products to meet unique customer needs, from flavor profiling and dietary adaptations to presentation and branding

If your interest has "risen" at all, I’d be delighted to show you the quality of my baked goods. I’m an amiable guy, devoted father to a beautiful boy in the Philippines, and an unapologetic music junkie who enjoys good conversation over a cold beer—just don’t talk to me before my first coffee!
