I have been cooking since i was a little kid then decided to make a career out of it. Started from a dishwasher all the way to a line cook and now, after serving in the Navy, i run a kitchen close to home and love every minute of it. Currently going back to school in Sept. to Le Cordon Bleu (Penn) and after that, we'll see where the winds guide me..... Mostly i love Asian inspired dishes. I believe there philosphy of very pure, fresh ingredents and cooking styles. But now i am doing a lot of fusion between Northern\Southern Thai and traditional Japanese. Watching my Mom bake cookies and pestering her for the dough!! She's one hell of a baker!! Just the fact that I am still here cooking and have yet to lose my passion for learning new things. Once...(a long time ago), i burned water. Tried to boil it and forgot about it one the stove!! Still get reminded about that all the time.
