About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make people happy and myself along the way!

ABOUT ME

Adventurous! I love to try new things and experiment in the kitchen. I have an engaging, warm personality and really enjoying interacting with people, all people! In the kitchen I may physically resemble Gordon Ramsay, but I am calm and respectful towards people and co-workers.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people as you wish to be treated. Humility goes a long way in arriving at personal success.
