I am a Bay Area native. I grew up in the East Bay,Fremont.  Spent time studying broadcasting before going toCulinary School and working as a chef and pastry chef.  While cooking, I moved to Las Vegas and witnessed the food explosion in that city.  After 5 years I moved back and went back to school part-time while cooking full-time. Eventually I quit cooking all together and went back to school to pursue boradcasting and film production. I haven't looked back since.  I married my longtime sweetheart who supports me in my endeavors.
