Biography: I was born in Maine and went to school in Connecticut. I moved to Rhode Island when I turned 30 and then to Orlando a couple years later. I moved to Mississippi a couple of years ago to open an Italian restaurant. Finally got married last year. We closed the restaurant a while back (too many partners and to much overhead). We have a little concession trailer and sell pizza by the slice at events and vestivals. We're moving to Oklahoma City next week and are both excited about it .

Years in the Industry: 30 years of kitchens

I'm really looking forward to another season of football - it's funny how the desire surges at the end of summer :-) And I'm originally from Cali, rooted for Dallas while living in AZ and now root for FL. LOL

We'll have to talk on the phone sometime - if that's cool with you, please private message me the best time and # for it.

Best wishes
