I grew up in two industries. Food & apparel. Growing up, my father was either involved in a food concept or slinging thousands of shirts, hats, and anything else you could print something on. One thing is for certain I always ate good and had the newest and coolest T-shirts in the neighborhood. Once the cooking bug bit me there was no turning back. Technically I have been in the food industry all my life, but professionally, for 35+ years. I've worked up and down the East Coast as well as out west in Arizona. I have worked under high caliber chefs from 6 different nationalities. With their training and guidance, I've learned to cook several different cuisines and have tried to master them all. I always strive to use the exact product and not cut corners. I have won numerous awards such as Rising Star Chef in 1994, and in 2010 I was rated as one of the top 25 Chefs in the city in Jacksonville Magazine. I was also fortunate to cook for several HNW celebrities and clients.
