Matthew Krueger was born and raised in Michigan City, Indiana. His love for cooking began at a very early age by convincing his mom to let him create a surprise dish without using a recipe for his family. It was a peanut butter and green mint jelly casserole! Fortunately, his dad and brothers "raved" how good his dish was, and from then on, his passion for cooking was forever embedded in this soul. However, it was another 25 years, two college degrees and a career in student development and residential programs before he "re-discovered" his passion in cooking. He pursued further by enrolling in the Hospitality Administration program at Ivy Tech Community College.

During his tenure there, he was given the opportunity to visit Southern France and Paris for two weeks in summer of 2004 as part of the program's international studies program. The trip was enriching as well as a "mind and palate exploding" experience.

Matt started his personal chef service in October 2003 by providing an on-site catering service for a wedding dinner reception for 125 guests. It was a great success and since then, Matt continued to strive for exceptional services to his clients.

In May 2006, Matt graduated with honors in culinary arts. Instead of
continuing personal chef services part-time, Matt started a full-time business with the emphasis on providing exceptional
service. Hence, Exceptional Personal Chef Services, LLC
was established.

Matt is married to Brandi and has three young sons:
Austin, Evan and Nicholas. He lives in Castleton
area of Indianapolis, but serves anywhere.

Chef Matt is a proud member of the
American Personal
Chef Association

American Culinary
Federation

He received his Culinary Arts degree from Ivy Tech Community College.

He is certified in
