About Us
My Petaluma Classroom 2012
A little about Mr. F
- Since returning from the Army in 1998 I have been pretty passionate about Food Safety and staff training! I became an Army Instructor in 1997 and I'm happy to report, "it took".
- I attended the Weekend Professional Program at the California Culinary Academy (CCA) on Polk St. San Francisco from 1998-1999, started a small catering company, Cuisine Adventures, with five classmates, and at the same time worked at Oritalia Restaurant on Bush St. (Thank you Chef Brenda!)
- I grew up in restaurants, starting at age 12 I was washing dishes in Sausalito, and over time became familiar with all duties in the operation. I moved to a family style restaurant where I worked all of the positions both front and back of house before joining the Army, so coming home only took a little time settling back in to restaurant life again.
- When I opened my restaurant, The Chancellor Cafe, in 2001 in San Francisco, I decided to not only get certified as a manager, but also as a Certified ServSafe Instructor to better train my staff.
- I opened Sonoma Food Safety in 2007 when the laws in California changed from CURFFL to CalCode and soon afterwards I became a NEHA Instructor and NRFSP Exam Administrator.
- I try very hard to bring my enthusiasm and expertise into all of my seminars and to the courses I provide.
Re-opening a good thing, glad to be back!
- Thank you for clicking in! A little about me and my service business. I am a one person business in the S.F. North Bay Area, I started "Sonoma Food Safety" in 2007, had to close shop in 2017, and am now reopening in 2023.
- I provide ServSafe® and NRFSP® Food Safety Manager Exam testing every Monday in my Santa Rosa office near Kaiser Hospital. I also have offices in Petaluma, Napa, San Rafael, and San Francisco I am able to utilize for your convenience.
- Note: appointments are required, as I may be off-site providing a class somewhere else. Phone messages, Email and/or Texting is a good way to touch base with me. Please understand that if I am providing a class somewhere I won't be able to pick up the phone. Thanks for understanding, and I look forward to being a help here in the neighborhood.
- Sonoma County, Napa County, Marin County, Mendocino County and Lake County are my normal stomping grounds, but I am happy to travel to other areas when asked.
- I'm willing to travel for one person, but I must charge a little more to offset the whole day, the price drops down when you have two or more people per session, over 5 people it drops even more.
- I'm in the process of setting up my online system, please bear with me as I do. additionally please check out my new website and newsletter and podcast, to help keep our local "food peeps" up to date with "New News".
all my best.

My job is to support food service industry personnel by providing free and paid training to Chefs, Restaurant Managers, Caterers, and any other Food Service professionals who might need this type of information.
In the 58 Counties of California, most all food service operations must have food safety training of some kind!
I also invite home cooks to use these resources.
