Summary

I am a very motivated chef who strives for professionalism in all aspects of my craft. To this day, I still love to learn new culinary techniques that keep innovating itself yearly. My methods of having a strong kitchen are to have a strong back-of-the-house team. You can have the most talented chef in the kitchen, but without the right people in your corner, you're useless, so having a strong team is essential.
