On my way...

About Me

I'm currently going to culinary school at L'Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, MD and having the time of my life doing it. Who knew I could actually enjoy going to school? let alone love it as much as I do!

I am now full force in my externship at Maestro at the Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner! I'm working my ass off but I love it!

When I'm not busy with school or work (which is pretty rare), I'm probably playing my guitar, writing songs, bowling, or just sitting around talking for hours and hours with the people I love.

I'm trying to stay out of trouble these days. It's taken me a long time to get my shit together and the last thing I need right now is to mess it up.

I'm finally able to say that I am happy with life, I'm staying busy doing what I love and my future is slowly taking shape into something I can be really proud of. I'd say I've come a long way, and those who have known me for a while would agree I'm sure.
