About Me

You have been marked on my profile map! Click to make your own visitor map. I'm 29, I love it...ok here's a quick rundown---I used to be an actor, where I sang and danced my ass off....then I got a little bored/distracted (as tap dancing 22 year olds do), dropped it all and went to culinary school to be a pastry chef. For five years I ate some really delicious stuff, but 16 hour days all the time I wasn't so crazy about, so I left the restaurant biz and decided to put it on the backburner till I have my own operation/domination/corporation/empire one day. Making ice cream. (THEN I'll give you a 16 hour shift) In an unprecedented third career switch before the age of 30, I dropped a hello to an airline, who said hello back. Turns out, its a great gig. Europe twice a week? I can live with that. Mix it up with some teaching and that's good too. By the way, no free tickets. To my friends, I love you all in a huge way...to my future friends, i can't wait....to any enemies I have, why the hell are you on this page??Anyway, I'd rather hear about you....so drop me a line :D Restaurants I've cooked at in NYC:Gotham, Gramercy Tavern, Tabla, and Lever House---All of them great, and from them I learned so many things. Chefs are creative, amazing and insane people.
