Experience

Executive Chef, AMBOFoods; Venice, FL, 2007 to 2009

Initially employed to perform customer service and marketing functions for

a company importing high quality Norwegian cod-liver oil. Performed

marketing writing and editing, cold calling, and worked public marketing

venues. Asked if one could cook with cod-liver oil, I began exploring the

idea at the urging of the company owners. Within a year I found a way to

include significant amounts of cod-liver oil in a cookie that tastes

fantastic. The patented process is the foundation of OmegaCookies; "the

world's healthiest cookie". As Executive Chef I am responsible for

sourcing and ordering the highest quality ingredients; preparing doughs to

near-pharmaceutical standards, developing flavors, and the beginnings of

production baking.
