About David

Trained in kitchens.
Trusted with everything else.

A private chef career built on discretion has a way of turning into something broader. This is how a chef ended up behind the wheel too.

Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, David found his love of food early — working alongside his grandparents in their family's catering business. He moved to the United States in 2010 and started as a lead cook at a Marriott hotel, working his way up by learning under executive chef leadership before striking out on his own.

David Obadimeji has spent his career cooking for people who value privacy as much as flavor — executives between meetings, founders hosting quietly at home, families marking an occasion without a public reservation. That work put him inside private estates, resort kitchens, and travel schedules long before it put him behind a car.

The chauffeur service grew out of the same relationships: clients who trusted David in their homes started asking him to handle transport too — airport runs, event travel, the kind of trip where you'd rather not explain the destination twice. Today both services run on the same principle. Whoever you're speaking to on the phone is who shows up.

David is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is available to travel anywhere for the right engagement.
