| Introduction | My earliest memories of food were when I was around our garden as a young boy. My parents kept a garden in our backyard with food that eventually ended up on our plates for breakfast, lunch or dinner. My favorite childhood memory was the time I spent in the kitchen with my mother. These times were truly incredible and something I will never forget. I loved the wonderful aromas and colors of the fresh food she cooked and I always asked her endless questions about the food she was preparing. Those moments with my mother were definitely what inspired me to have such a great passion for food. My professional career with food began in a few “Mom and Pop” restaurants here in Tucson about 22 years ago. But, I really found my true calling in the Hospitality industry when I joined the culinary team at a local hotel.I gained as much knowledge as I could and learned the technique of Scratch Cooking. I strive to become the best I can by choosing the “hands on” approach and by working with some of the best Chef’s in the culinary field. Now I am the Banquet Chef at JW Starr Pass Resort and loving every minute of my career. |
