I've worked in the culinary business for over 20+ years. Started as a dishwasher and elevated to executive sous chef. I've also worked in many restaurants that taught me different styles of cooking and different types of cuisines, working under a hand full of well known chefs, which have mentored me in my culinary journey. Chef Taft from The Chicken and the Egg was one of my most influential. My favorite food to cook is Asian but I also love Italian, Caribbean, and Southern. Very skilled as a grill master for bbqs or any outside cooking event.
I cook because as a young boy I was a son of a single parent. My mother taught me how to cook at the age of 6-7 years old to take care of myself while she was at work. As I got older my uncle took me to the next level of inspiration and skill. He was a chef by second trade and taught me all he knew..I cook because it's a skill that comes natural. And it's bring me joy when I create a meal that people enjoy.
