What' your background?
I grew up in the South Shore, went to school in Upstate New York and lived in Budapest, New York, and San Francisco before returning to New England.
What connects you to seafood?
Hands down, the people. I got my start offloading dayboats & oyster farmers on the Cape and making deliveries to Boston restaurants. From the fishermen to the farmers and chefs there was a throughline of appreciation, tenacity, competency and a kind of cowboy personality I was fascinated with. Through some long days playing middle man my network of the hard nosed and brilliant people that procure and provide seafood grew and I haven't looked back. It's a rare comradery with some unique characters I'm very lucky to know and work among.
What do you enjoy outside of work?
I'd love to say mountain climbing and archery but in the event this is fact checked you're 100% more likely to find me in the backyard or on the couch with my wife and our dog reading or watching a movie. While a novice I love cooking and take full advantage of the access to top quality and often hard to find ingredients from work.

What's your background?
I’m from Brazil. I grew up eating fish, fishing on the beach with friends—it was a really fun childhood. I was a professional soccer player until an injury at 21 years old. When I came to the states, my first job was as a dishwasher in a seafood restaurant. The chef approached me and asked if I wanted to cut fish. 13 years later, I cut everything from a 700-pound bluefin to a 1-pound flounder. I try to do my best. I wake up every day excited to come to work. I love what I do—cutting fish is my passion.

What connects you to seafood?
I grew up in Scituate MA, and when I was young, it was a busy commercial harbor. It has changed since then, but it cemented my interest in the industry. When I decided to leave the recruitment industry, I was contacted by a lifelong friend who is a lobsterman. He asked me if I wanted to buy lobsters from him and sell them to restaurants in the Berkshires (I was living there at the time). BerkShore was born out of that conversation.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I spent three years as a fisheries observer recording catch data on commercial fishing boats across the Eastern seaboard.
Sales Account Manager
I spent three years as a fisheries observer recording catch data on commercial fishing boats across the Eastern seaboard.
What's your background?
I was raised on a farm in the lakes region of New Hampshire. I became obsessed with the ocean ever since my dad taught me how to go striper fishing during our summers on the South Shore of Massachusetts. Many years later, this interest carried over into an undergrad degree in Marine Biology from the University of New Hampshire. The following three years were spent as a fisheries observer – recording catch data on a variety of different commercial fishing boats across the Eastern seaboard.
What connects you to seafood?
My favorite seafood memory would have to be from my days working as an observer on commercial fishing boats. I worked with a variety of crews spanning many different cultures. The Portuguese fleet out of New Bedford usually ate the best. I’m a huge seafood fan (naturally) and those guys did it well. The best, most comforting meals were their classic boiled dinners which contained bone-in whitefish (haddock, hake, or cod usually), potatoes, eggs, carrots, and onions. We’d accompany the dish with fresh bread, Saloio olive oil, white wine vinegar, and on occasion, some homemade wine. Even though I’d be hundreds of miles away from home, it made me feel “at home.”
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Taking my boat out with friends in the Boston Harbor. Fishing, hunting, jogging, and cooking in my spare time.

I was born and raised in the Greater New Bedford, Massachusetts area, then moved to Boston for college. I started working as a cook shortly after where I learned to breakdown whole fish, and really eyed in on what's fresh and what's not.

At Wulf's, I get to serve the best product to the chefs and businesses I've grown to admire and respect.

It is a never-ending fountain of new information that I want to soak up!

I like to spend my time playing video games, playing any sport I can get enough people to play, or working on my food projects at home. I’ve recently become very into smoking anything that fits in my home smoker or dehydrating anything I can think of.
