Experience
I started cooking at the age of 11. I came from a single parent household and my mother worked 2 jobs. I fell in love with cooking in my early teens. My early 20s, where I served as a cook in a few mom and pop spots in Dayton, Ohio...
I served as an Army cook in 2005 overseas in Southern Iraq. Having the opportunity to travel the and taste as much as I could was such an experience.
I came home and ran from the kitchen until I could not find any jobs that didn't deal with food. I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. At that post I lost everything. My marriage, all my money, cars, home... Everything... But I didn't lose my faith in God. Living pillow to post wherever I could stay.
The opportunity to work at a Place called Michaels Fine Dining and Jazz, under chef Tico Greene, is where the PartyChef was born. Owned by a local NFL player (Brandon McKinney), Michaels allowed me to find what I was looking for in the Culinary field.
I went back to school to re-educate my self in my passion and hone my skill with food. Learning so many and genres if food. There's almost nothing I can't do in the kitchen. I've learned that food bring most things together. If not, all things.
During this course I lost my my son due to premature birth. One of the hardest things I had to press through but non the less the MostHigh had his hand on me.
