Irish born Robin has had a passion for cooking since he was a boy. His Grandmother would encourage him to make all manner of interesting and wonderful dishes. Thankfully, over the years, his skills and passion for cooking has improved.
Robin attended school in Ireland before heading to England to study Computing at Coventry University. From there he followed in the family tradition of working on yachts. Indeed two of his uncles, his brother and sister have worked as professional crew. Robin joined his sister and brother-in-law and sailed from Boston to the British Virgin Islands. There he soon found a chef position aboard a trimaran for nearly 2 years and an additional year aboard a luxury charter catamaran sailing thoughout the Caribbean, widening his creative palette.
