Born and bred in New York. Dove head long into the culinary field after completing a career in the U.S. Navy. After cooking for many years as the “nice guy on the block” was informed that the same could be done for fun and profit. Opened up own company as a personal chef and caterer. Went back to school to complete an Associates Degree in Culinary Art in Grossmont, California. After cooking at Thornton Hospital for three years while simultaneously going to school at night, shifted back into catering. After moving to the Boston area worked for Performance Food Group selling food products to restaurants and institutions. Taking this additional knowledge, opened “Above The Clouds” with my wife and have never regretted it since.
