for a lot of us, it all starts here. not this place particularly but a restaurant usually. for me it was Atkinson Country Club, oct 20th 2008, up in NH. i started as a dishwasher there making 9$ an hour and working with other shitty dishwashers. the crew there was awesome and i was determined to become a part of that. after 3 months, i did. my sous chef at the time, ross. was probably my greatest influence and learned the most from him. it only took a few months to fall in love with what i was doing and in may-june of 09', when both my grandparents passed away. seeing how food actually effected a part of our family, i knew its what i wanted to pursue as a career so i could one day share all of my own great ideas and see people enjoy them. i got accepted to SNHU's culinary art program in july and in sept 09' i started. some of the professors and kids i met there would add so much more to my life than expected and is now one of the best memories i have.
