Chef/Restaurant Management

I have spent over 19 years as a teacher, nutritionist and philosopher when it comes to the culinary and hospitality industry. I first started out as a busboy at cracker barrel and worked my way up to being a server and then found my true calling when I got the chance to work the line as a cook.

Being ex-military, I hold a high standard, while instilling the seven U.S. Army values: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage, which I live by daily. Eventually I packed my bags and headed to Los Angeles to attend the culinary school at LA Trade-Tech College. Upon graduation, I improved my culinary knowledge, skills and leadership talents working in top fine dining restaurant kitchens, including Patina, Rustic Canyon, and Melisse. Ever since then, I have sought out to become a fine dining chef and achieve the dream of one day having my own restaurant and earning a Michelin star.
