Personal Highlights

Started cooking in restaurants when I was 17 and found a passion for making people happy with my food inside and outside of work. I have always enjoyed customer service and I am looking forward to what the future holds for me. Been cooking my whole adult life, love having friends over and cooking for them. Came from a big family where the food was the centerpiece of our family get together’s. When I’m not doing that, I spend my time traveling to see my favorite bands at varying venues, and spending time with my wife and dog, Duke.
