In culinary arts from the Johnson & Wales University. He graduated in the top 5% of his class. He had to return to military service from 2006 to 2013 when in which he retired. During that time he remotely achieved his B.S. from J&W in Hospitality Management and From 2013 to 2021 he worked various positions in the hospitality field ranging from prep cook to food service director at hotels, resorts and senior living facilities. In my time as the chef here at Fitness Retreat, have gained so much extra knowledge to not only help clients but also help myself achieve a longer and healthier life. In my spare time I’m an avid sports fan and concert goer. I love to hike, travel and explore new food options out in the public market.
