Biography

Chef David Rooney joined Catering Creations in January of 2007.  He came to us from Margarite's Catering after they closed due to the owner's retirement. He worked as Margarite's Sous Chef and his experience with off-site catering spans back to 2001. 

Chef Rooney is our Sous Chef which is a classical term for "Second Chef in Charge".  You will also see him at many events working as an Event Kitchen Manager.  He is hard working and always eager to please our clients.  He has a quick wit and a smile that is sure to make you and your guests feel completely at ease.   

Chef Rooney attended Scottsdale Culinary Institute in Scottsdale, AZ where he graduated at the top of his class. At school, he had the opportunity to assist Celebrity Chef Michael Shlow, Owner of Radius in Seattle and Author of "It's About Time", to prepare an elegant meal for a chef's wine tasting dinner. 

Chef Rooney plays a very large part in creating new menu items for our company. He has catered everything from large extravegant weddings to small personal home parties.  He was excited to have had the chance to meet Warren Buffet and celebrity Billy Baldwin at a Berkshire Hathaway event that he catered with our company.

David is the proud father of 2 lovely baby girls, ages 3 years and 3 months.
