A Bit About Me
My first job was as a dishwasher for a local pizza restaurant. While working as a server in college, I realized my true calling was cooking, and from that day forward, I pursued my dream of becoming a chef. My culinary journey began with a move from California to Hyde Park, NY, to attend the Culinary Institute of America, which is recognized as one of the best schools in the world for chefs. Upon graduation, I traversed the nation to work in the best cities with some of the best Chefs, including Andre Soltner at Lutece, Alfred Portale at Gotham Bar and Grill, both in NYC with Nancy Oakes at Boulevard in San Francisco, and Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger in their Los Angeles Restaurants Border Grill and City as well as with Michel Richard of Citrus in LA.
