To be associated with a facility that has common goals, objectives, a passion for
OBJECTIVE
success and never be content with the status quo.
I have been in the Culinary field for more than 30 years. 25 of those years were in
SKILLS &
Country Clubs. 8 years at Woodhill C.C.,7 years Minneapolis G.C., a few at Oak
A BIL ITIES
R idge C.C. and Medina C.C., formally (Rolling Green C.C.). I have been in senior
d ining approximately 9 years. I have been employed with A “viands, a foodservice
management company. My 25 years in Country Clubs taught me so many things,
A la Carte service leaves very little margin for error, you have a select clientele who
has high expectations regarding service, food quality ( appearance, temperature,
and variety ) . Banquets are even more scrutinized. The client wants and deserves
perfection, if it be a wedding, cooperate event, or golf tournament. I am a t rue
scratch Chef, using stocks, animal fats, a nice balance and wide variety of
seasonings is essential to a memorable sauce. I worked under the mentorship of
many great Chefs that I give all the credit to for my success. I could write a book on
a ll the things I’ve learned over my career. Safety and sanitation are absolutes in a
k itchen environment. The chaos and stress level in a kitchen is incredible. Good,
solid leadership is another mandatory requirement. Controlling payroll food cost,
and keeping a team environment is a Chefs’ responsibility. I took a 2 year hiatus
and t ried Real estate. I was not very happy I missed the creativity, commeradity
and sense of accomplishment. In the past I have made homemade wild yeast and
created many different types of breads and I do mean many I’m not going to
elaborate on that r ight now. I have also made Corned Beef from scratch, it takes
a lmost 3 weeks to prepare. Making a wild yeast takes about that long to develop
a lso, Making emulsified dressings with different types of vinegars, oils, sugar, and
seasonings is really exciting. Please allow me to stop there and simply say my
passion for the Culinary Field is very high and I t ry my hardest to instill that
passion and pride in all the staff involved in building a team atmosphere!
