Alex is an LA native with extensive experience working in restaurants across the city. He started working the front of house with traditional wine, receiving his sommelier certificate while working at The Stonehaus. He then transitioned to working with natural wine at Here's Looking At You & Dudley Market. Currently, he works as a private chef based in Malibu. He also pops up around LA with his concept "Oma's", a modern Jewish Deli. He believes in making things in their purest form, using freshly milled ancient grains in his sourdough baking and natural fermentation in his pickling. Alex draws inspiration from the environment around him, frequenting farmer's markets and his own garden for his ingredients.
