He has a strong background in both savory and pastry, and started at the very bottom in the kitchen, working his way up. Because he didn't have formal training, Thiago doesn't get hung up on the 'right' way to do things, but instead experiments to see if he can find a new or better way to get something done. He has two young sons and loves to go all out on their birthday cakes, once sculpting a 2-foot-tall Elmo out of chocolate for his son's 2nd birthday.
