I have been a Chef for 16 years working in Diners, Fine Dining, Country Clubs, Nursing homes, Casinos, Hotels and most recently k12 Foodservice. I love cooking of any kind and feeling I have accomplished something in doing so which is what has lead me to K12. When I am not Cooking I am a spending time with my wife son and 2 dogs.
