Skills/ Credentials
Experienced working in professional kitchens since the age of 14. Found my passion for culinary just watching and helping family members cook. After attending culinary school, I honded my skills working a high volume fine dining catering company for 5 years. Doing everything from a sweet 16 to private dinners at rooftop penthouses in Manhattan. From there I worked at Mediterranean restaurants along the Jersey shore taking on Executive Chef jobs. Currently, I reside in the Montgomery area where I run the kitchen at local favorite The Patriots Grill.
