Chef David Rivoli

@chefdavidrivoli

My name is David Rivoli and I’m a chef residing in Providence, Rhode Island. Originally I’m from Miami, Florida, but I moved to Rhode Island to graduate from Johnson & Wales University with my Bachelor’s Degree in Culinary Arts due to the events of the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020. During that same time, being a Gen Z teen and having a skill in Social Media, I started working on creating content professionally sharing my life as a chef working at restaurants, events, daily life in culinary school, and recipe demonstrations. Now it’s evolved to having more than 60K followers across all social platforms (@chefdavidrivoli), and started my own Digital Marketing Agency promoting restaurants and small businesses all across New England to help the Foodservice/Industry thrive while we all go through a tough economic situation. Having 7 years of restaurant experience in all types of dining along with 4 years of being a Content Creator, I’ve used my combined skills to create new recipes and techniques such as my specialities for baking and fusion cuisine, working for large companies in promoting their brand, and influencing other people to join my industry. If there’s one word that can describe me then it would be eccentric, because I’ve done the most random things to practice cooking, create content, market for businesses, and catering for the public to achieve great results such as completing my first cookbook. Also, two important lessons I’ve learned that’s helped my career grow is “the learning never stops” (Keith Garman 2020) and “all the best people are crazy (Melanie Martinez 2017), and seeing how far I’ve come today, these lessons are important for anyone in my industry to adhere to.
