AOS Culinary Arts 2003
Since graduation I moved to sunny St. Petersburg, FL. I worked as a Sous Chef for the St. Petersburg Yacht Club and as a Sous Chef, Senior Sous Chef, and Banquet Chef for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Currently I am working as the Executive Chef for the Tampa Bay Rays and the Tampa Bay Area Chef for Centerplate.
Remembering NECI: I still have so many great memories of my time at NECI. I remember the first day when I was told that NECI "does not produce Chefs, but we produce some damn good cooks!" The rest was left up to us. As an alumnus, I try and convey to the young people I meet the intangibles that NECI provided us -- all the things you can't write in a brochure or put on a website. I'm extremely excited to be an ambassador for the school as I always have and will continue to hold NECI in very high regard.
