This is not to be taken lightly, since the top chefs in town compete for the honor. His passion for culinary art has been fostered since he started baking at age 2. He has been cooking professionally since he was 16 years old. He received associate’s and bachelor’s degrees in culinary art from Johnson and Wales University in Miami and Providence, R.I.
