René has lived in and around Sleepy Hollow for over 25 years, immigrating from Azuay, Ecuador. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Professional Studies from the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park. He has run his own off-premise catering company for over twelve years and recently opened his own Café in Thornwood. René’s three children, ages 3, 9 and 12, attend the Sleepy Hollow public schools.
