I am originally from San Francisco Ca. I have spent 13 years active duty in the US Navy as a Culinary Specialist and 4 years in the reserves. I received my Bachelors Degree in Culinary Arts Management from The Arts Institute of Virginia Beach and just received my Masters in Business Administration from Stratford University. I am always up for a challenge, my passion for the culinary world is insurmountable, and the desire to become a master in my craft I wish to attain through the knowledge, skills and techniques of those who've gone before me.
