Associates Degree in Specialized Technology from Pennsylvania Culinary Institute

I love the outdoors:  camping, fishing and just being outside.  I also love to cook, it has been a passion of mine since I was 8. I used to cook the family meals almost every night since then.  My family is a big influence also.  I love home-style food and plating.  Comfort foods make people relax and enjoy themselves better. I have worked in all types of restaurants from industrial, fine dining, casino, high volume.  My management experience is limited, but I am a strong leader and fine chef.  I put my soul into every dish and my work reflects this.  I cook because it's my life and passion.  The ability to transform someone's palate, by experimenting with flavors is an awesome concept to try and excel in.
