Gary is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, New York. He brought Café Diablo in Torrey to fame as Owner and Certified Executive Chef. He switched careers in 2013, sold the restaurant, and pursued his love for creative sewing, upholstery, and leather work…oh, and to spend winters as a ski bum. The same care, quality, and freshness he brought to his culinary exploits is now found in Gary’s functional and exquisite leather work. 

This leather travel bag and accompanying personal bag were hand-crafted and donated by Gary.
