Influenced by my busy family, living abroad, career, a love of the game of golf and my passion for cooking, I wrote TASTOSTERONE to provide men with a road map of supplies, tips and recipes for navigating around the kitchen.

I grew up in Oradell, New Jersey where I started cooking at the age of 14 to help my busy working parents get dinner on the table.

As a young adult, I lived abroad in London and Israel where my love affair with traveling and adapting recipes from other cultures inspired my cooking.

Due to family obligation, I left the company to help run my parents’ automobile business where I observed the testosterone-driven world of men.
