A product of the local public schools—from John Paulding through Sleepy Hollow High School—Jairo has deep roots in the community and a firsthand understanding of the changes and challenges the village has experienced over the decades. He grew up on Beekman Avenue in the heart of Sleepy Hollow’s downtown and has always remained closely connected to the place he calls home.

Whether catering fundraisers, helping organize celebrations, or simply chatting with neighbors, Jairo is deeply engaged with the everyday life of Sleepy Hollow residents.
Professionally, Jairo trained at the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute and has worked in the food and hospitality industry across the country—from high-end catering events like the Jack Nicklaus Golf Tour in Ohio to revitalizing menus in restaurants in Miami, New York City, and right here in the Rivertowns. No matter where his career has taken him, Jairo has always returned to Sleepy Hollow—drawn by its history, diversity, and sense of community.
