I am a Trinity Alumnus (Class of 1975) who got his start in the Culinary Arts while in the U.S. Coast Guard as a Subsistence Specialist for 9 years. After leaving the Military I attended the Culinary Arts program at Jefferson Community College while working at one of Kentucky’s finest restaurant, Casa Grisanti for a year before moving to the metro Chicago area where I finished schooling at The College of DuPage. I worked at many fine restaurants in the Chicago area while still honing my Culinary skills. Hired on as the P.M. Shift Line Supervisor at the Hyatt Hotel in Lisle, IL, I worked there until moving back to Louisville where I went to work as the Sous Chef at the Raddison Hotel East. When the opportunity to become the Executive Chef at the new Raddison Airport Hotel opened up in 1991 I moved to the Saint Louis area and have been here ever since. I was the Executive Chef at the Raddison for 9 years and then went into the Health Care branch of the Foodservice Industry as the Chef/Production Manager at SSM St. Joseph Hospital in St. Charles, Mo. I am now working in an Independent Living Facility and was wondering if you would be intrested in hosting me as a Guest Chef for your Culinary Arts Program for a day. Thank you and I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
