A Partnership Built on Passion, Skill, and Shared Experiences
Our founder, Mathew Proulx, was a student of Chef D at the St. Joseph culinary training program in 2017. Mat began working for Chef D at his restaurant, the Mar Vista, starting as a dishwasher. Over the years, Mat worked his way up from dishwasher to salad bar, raw bar, and eventually to lead line cook, all under Chef D’s guidance.
Mat eventually left the Mar Vista and started PrepXPerformance in 2021. Now, 8 years after their paths first crossed, and Mat and Chef D have teamed up to combine their culinary skills and bring high-quality catering to your events!
