I'm a Professional Chef. Over my 15+ year career, I have enjoyed diverse experiences while working in Los Angeles, CA and Nashville, TN, and traveled to various locations when clients hired me. Here are a few stories: • I've fed 1/12 of the people who walked on the Moon! • Been a guest-chef on many reality TV shows including "Survival of the Richest", "MTV's Next", "My Life on the D List" and others. • I was hired to be a behind-the-scenes coach for a MasterChef, Jr. contestant. • I've catered private events in the residences of television, film, and music celebrities, entertainment moguls, and politicians. • Created catered events for fundraisers such as the AIDS Research Alliance Gala, and The Barrington Dog Park Association's "Bark in the Park", that was featured on Barbecue with Bobby Flay. • I've worked for Los Angeles's largest catering companies doing movie premieres, award shows (Emmys/Grammys/MTV), and gala receptions at the Disney Music Hall, Descanso Gardens, California Science Center, Two Rodeo Drive, and on the Paramount Pictures Lot, among other venues. • Worked through nearly every catastrophic kitchen incident imaginable, including power outages (one during a wedding), two fires, too many guests, not enough servers, and a very elegant dinner where the guest of honor was 2 hours late to his own party.
I teach FULL-TIME freelance, and on several video-learning platforms, including Outschool.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say that learning how to cook will upgrade how a person eats and teaches real, concrete skills that will be used for the rest of their life. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to share what I know with the kids in my class, and I look forward to cooking together soon!
While my classes may be listed as cooking classes - they're science classes disguised as cooking! I use food to teach tangible lessons that include both Formal and Natural Sciences that transcend the boundaries of what most people think of as "just" a cooking class. The results are always intended, to not only be edible, but REAL FOOD - something a learner would be proud to serve, and anyone would be delighted to eat!
