When you were a kid, what did you want to be?
I wanted to be a football player, then realized coaching was more in the cards. Then I wanted to be a drill sergeant in the Marines. But, that would require me to join the Marines and, back then, I was not the most dedicated person. This one is odd, I also wanted to be a butler. Yep, a butler. Maybe [from] too many episodes of Batman. In a funny way, being a chef has many parts that are similiar to all these jobs.
What is a little known fact about yourself?
The day I graduated culinary school, I was offered a spot as a fire fighter in Billerica, MA. I had taken the civil service exam a few years prior. I often wonder what life would be like had I gone that route.
What is the toughest lesson you’ve learned in your careeer?
The toughest lesson [I learned] is that I remind myself every day that, in this industry, it can all go away in a blink of an eye. I like to call that a healthy fear.
