Jeremy Kelly hails from Marblehead, Massachusetts, where he and his brothers were constantly in, on, or around the water. Jeremy claims fishing, boating and cliff jumping are all family traditions.
Jeremy found his calling early in life, which is very apparent from this young man’s cooking & management skills; he started working in kitchens at local restaurants when he was only 14 years old! By the time he had graduated from high school, he’d worked his way up to head chef and continued in that role while getting his first two years of college out of the way in Massachusetts.
With that complete and no doubts about his chosen profession, Jeremy enrolled at Johnson & Wales University in Miami, where he worked full time while attending classes. Where did he work, you ask? Not to be outdone, he was third in charge in the Sheraton Bal Harbors showcase kitchen. After a year of this - and learning the Latin/Caribbean flavors of Miami - Jeremy transferred to the Charleston, S.C. campus of Johnson & Wales, where he again worked full time as a private function chef at Steven Duvall Catering.
After graduation and the rigors of full-time school work, “J.K.” came to the Caribbean where he worked at the El Conquistador as the executive sous chef under world renowned Chef Dayne Smith. After that, Jeremy longed for a job at which he could travel and be close to the sea, so signed on as a yacht chef. He has worked on mega-yachts and classified government ships all around the world, and his frequent flier status rivals that of the busiest executives!
Jeremy then honed in on his management skills, moved to New York City, and became an Estate Manager/Chef for one of the wealthiest families in the world. Here he performed many duties, running several multi-million dollar homes at the same time; whilst preparing meals day in and day out.
He now resides in Miami and travels extensively with his current employer as a private chef.
