Name: Dhinno Karyanto
Age: 50
Role: Chef at both dCafe and Sea Breeze Café
Origin: From Indonesia and moved to Australia in 2012

Introduced: to Foundation by Clinton Patenden after we had been working together at the Crystalbrook Bailey Hotel.
Star sign: Aquarius and the Rat
Interests: Technology, Music, Film Production, photography, travel and of course Food. In past activity can see in www.chefdkonduties.blogspot.com
Family: I am the second youngest of two brothers and three sisters. I am an uncle to my older sister’s daughter. One of my sisters is well known television and film actress, her husband is a film cinematographer and their daughter is an assistant director in the film industry.
Pastimes: Technology, film production, travel, listening to music and general relaxing when not at work.
I enjoy working with Foundation and the staff members as opposed to the stressful work in international hotels which was my previous work history. I know the Foundation raises monies for health services to the community and also assists in raising money for medical research and new equipment often with donations from the corporate world. For this reason I’m very proud to be associated with the Foundation’s activities.
