“My Story”

I don't have an outrageous tale about how I got in this crazy industry, except for the time I accidentally blew up the microwave years ago in high school. I had no clue that aluminum foil didn’t go in there! Shortly after that, I started taking cooking classes in high school, similar to what I teach now, but not quite as detailed. After graduating, I moved to Charleston to attend culinary school, and the journey from there has truly been remarkable to say the least!

Not many people know this but I played the piano for a few years and the violin for 8 years. The kitchen, much like playing an instrument, has a strange ability to bring peace into my life. Just as music requires focus, so too does the art of preparing a meal. In the kitchen, there’s the rhythm of knives, the sizzling of sauteing, and the simmering of sauces are symphonic, each sound contributing to a delightful composition! This harmonious environment fosters a sense of calm, allowing me to lose myself in the process, like I did while playing music. For me, the kitchen becomes a sanctuary, where the act of cooking transforms into a meditative experience. Bringing peace to both the mind and the soul.
