I was born in Camden NJ and grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia (Go Birds!). I have been working in restaurants for 20 years in various roles from dishwasher to now executive chef. I attended the Italian Culinary Institute in Calabria Italy, and Manchester Community College for culinary.
For years I wanted to have a bigger impact on the world besides making a restaurateur millions of dollars and working 70 hours a week in the process. Finding FCW gave me the opportunity to be a part of so many people’s journeys to better lives using my passion for food. Training them to cook is just a small part of it, more importantly we build and develop relationships with them; and help rebuild their confidence and remind them that they are worth investing in and that they can succeed.
