I was raised on a family farm in Upstate New York. We cultivated fruits, berries and other various crops which were marketed to the local community. We hunted game, raised and sold hunting dogs, several breeds of poultry, as well as other farm animals. We also managed winter food supply by canning and food storage. My love, respect, and appreciation for family, property, and animal/wildlife had been honed from a very young age, and learning to manage household and farm responsibilities developed my strong work ethic. As a teenager, I held multiple concurrent jobs in commercial maintenance, hospital aid, and commercial chef apprentice. After high school, I concentrated my focus on becoming an executive chef, while I simultaneously earned my certification and apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer from BOCES Trade School. I gained invaluable experience by working concurrently as a mechanical engineer at night and chef during lunch and dinner hours. I relocated to North Lake Tahoe where I was employed with Stromer Luxury Custom Home and Estate Properties Development Company. Concurrently, I worked in the commercial restaurant industry as Executive Chef, Kitchen and Banquet Manager, while also providing on-site 24/7 security and maintenance management.
