About Us

Hey Hi Howdy! I'm Matt, a native Floridian originally from the Tampa Bay area. After obtaining undergraduate and graduate degrees from FIU in Miami, I took to entrepreneurship and found a real passion for it. Traveling around the world with only a computer and strong wifi, I launched a career building small businesses, and had a knack for event hospitality.

My core business is N6 Retreats where we bring distributed companies together for retreats all over the world. While looking to develop my skills in event management closer to home here in Naples, Gavin and I decided to launch The Rose House. Needless to say, our partnership has blossomed into a beautiful business.

You'll find me on the other end of an email or a phone call, and most likely at your next big event!

Hello everyone! I’m Chef Pav, and my passion for cooking started at a young age. While other kids wished for toys at Christmas, I asked for kitchen tools, sparking a lifelong love for the culinary arts. At 16, I began my career in Bulgaria, working in a Mediterranean restaurant along the Black Sea, where I learned to deliver exceptional quality to thousands of guests daily.

My passion for cooking took me to the United States, where I refined my craft at JW Gaylord Marriott Old Hickory Steakhouse in Texas and later became Sous Chef at Del Mar on Fifth Avenue in Naples, Florida. I’ve also launched a successful catering business, serving high-profile clients with personalized dining experiences

In 2023, I was honored to compete in Hell’s Kitchen Bulgaria, earning my place among the top 18 chefs from thousands of applicants worldwide.

Today, I’m proud to be Head Chef at The Rose House Catering, where I bring creativity, passion, and expertise to every event. I’m excited to craft unforgettable culinary experiences and share my love for food with each of you.

Throughout my career, I have continuously developed myself across diverse culinary environments. My internships in France and the U.S. significantly strengthened my culinary discipline, technique, and

global food understanding. In addition, I have strong knowledge and hands-on experience in sourdough bread making — including maintaining natural starters, fermentation mastery, and artisanal baking methods.

Coming from a region deeply connected to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean culinary traditions, I carry an authentic understanding of these cuisines — their spices, techniques, heritage, and modern

interpretations. This cultural closeness allows me to create dishes that are both genuine and elevated, balancing tradition with innovation.

My experience on MasterChef taught me to perform at a high level under pressure, to think creatively in limited time, and to maintain exceptional standards of taste and presentation. Combined with my

decade of kitchen experience, I bring strong leadership, clean and organized kitchen habits, and a commitment to excellence in every plate I execute.
