This page is just for you to get to know some of the interests of the chef you are considering for your next event. I am originally from the Dallas area, and I relocated to Austin, Texas to attend Culinary school in 2005. I had always wanted to attend Culinary school for many years and finally decided to follow my dreams a couple of years back. I completed with an Associates of Applied Sciences Degree "Cum Laude", from The Texas Culinary Academy (Le Cordon Bleu Affiliate) in Februrary 2007 . I was hired at The Hills Fitness Center in November of 2006, and I have been there since. I am a Personal Chef for several clients and have started Catering; and I am looking forward to expanding my business. I am very passionate about my friends, family and of course good food. I have two members of my family in the military, [ PV-2 Deric Long and CPL Casey Long] I am very proud of both of them (HOOAH). I have followed my dreams of becoming a Chef and I am very passionate about every aspect of food. I would be glad to give any potential new client a list of references, and a free quote for any type of services you might require.
