Just wanted to introduce myself. Been cooking all my life, professionally for about 10 years. Had a first career in financial services while I was studying at J&W weekends for three years, and jumped ship after getting laid off 2 weeks after 9/11. 5 years in the private clubs worked up from intern to Sous Chef, 1 year with Aramark Business Services as a Chef/Manager, 3 years as a Restaurant Chef, and now I am in the process of opening a new brewpub as Executive Chef/Manager. Cheers!
