Graduated from New England Culinary Institute Ventana Inn Big Sur California Chef de cuisine Latitudes, Sunset Key, Key West Ritz Carlton Sous Chef Naples Florida Turtle Club Executive Chef CCPS culinary instructor 2004-2023.
I have been cooking professionally as a chef for 24 years. I started my journey in a Culinary program in 9th grade back home in Pennsylvania. I then graduated from Johnson and Wales University. As a professional I worked as a cook, sous chef, executive chef, chef instructor, private chef and personal chef in country clubs, hotels, peoples homes or businesses and private restaurants. I wanted to teach young adults at Lorenzo Walker because for me it is a similar program to where I started my career. I love to see passionate students crushing it in life while attending our program and when they graduate. My students know that I will always help mentor them even after they leave our school. Two fun facts about me is I am all in on the Digital asset movement and a hardcore Philly fan.
