Summary

I have been working in restaurants for most of my life. I've had the opportunity to attend the Big ten chef's summit and to work with cultures from around the world. Through out my journey I have never stopped learning, and believe that any great chef will tell you the same. Every day is a new opportunity to gain something new. We learn from trials, we learn from mistakes but most of all , we learn from those around us. I strongly believe that every great chef is only great because they are backed by a great team. It's our duty to build that team and to help them grow beyond the point that even they have set for themselves.
