Summary
As a young man I arrived to America with big dreams of providing for my family, but also enhancing my knowledge and skills. I started working in the kitchen 10 years ago and it has definitely been the career path I always wanted. It has made me a more organized person, responsible and I have so much love for food and dedication to feed others. As I continue in this journey I am looking to find a place where I can continue growing, learn digesting cuisine and develop more skills that will allow me to move further into my career.
