Aiden O’Brien
Whitman,MA
Summary
My name is Aiden as you may know. I’ve never been the type of guy to back down from anything I feel passionate about. I’ve wanted to be a chef since I was a little a kid. Ideally, the main goal is to open a steakhouse. I love the culture and the food. In my lifetime I’ve played 6 sports including Baseball, Basketball, wrestling, gymnastics, soccer, and Mountain bike racing. All of these have given me a great discipline of never giving up. I have the mentality to move forward. Gaining as much culinary experience I can. I’ve been training under local chefs and studying at home. I think it’s fun to cook but I take the role very seriously. Other than this I do have other passions. I’ve made and sold spray paint art, worked on project cars in my free time, and friends that i spend time with occasionally. All in all, I’m a pretty busy guy, and I’d like to keep it that way.
