Marlon Alexander was born and brought up in Broad Ripple village, Indianapolis, Indiana, but he moved to Long Beach, California at a very young age. Growing up, Marlon’s most cherished family memories revolved around spending quality time with his loved ones while cooking in the kitchen. This early on, Marlon developed a keen love and fascination for the culinary world. In his 20s, Marlon decided to begin honing his skills by cooking for random catering companies throughout Los Angeles. It was during this time that he also got to work with top chefs such as Roland Gilburd at 72 Market St. in Venice and Wolfgang Puck at Spago’s in Beverly Hills.Soon thereafter, Marlon decided to attend culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in South Pasadena, California, knowing that he needed a culinary degree to reach the next level of his career. His diploma opened various opportunities and, soon he found himself working at the La Parc Suite, a boutique hotel in West Hollywood, followed by The Bel-Air hotel in Los Angeles. It was at the Bel-Air hotel where he met Christian Paier, who helped Marlon land his first job as a private Chef for some very well known and esteemed clients, such as the band Kiss, Lady Gaga and other notable names from the entertainment industry.

Christian Paier eventually approached Marlon to offer him the opportunity to join the ranks of Private Chefs Inc. as a bi-coastal booker and Chef agent. He has been working with PCI for many years now while still occasionally accepting short-term private Chef engagements with VIP clients. Marlon is an incredibly talented Chef, with vast experience working with celebrity clientele, and his passion for the culinary world has only grown stronger with each passing year.
