Kent's Story
Life
After High School I moved to Brookville, PA for 5 years followed by 4 years in State College, PA pretending to study at Penn State.
Finally got a degree from Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI in '87.
Following college, I moved to Provincetown, MA for 4 years where I was Executive Chef at The Mews.
In 1990, I relocated to Baltimore, MD and have been here ever since.
Since moving to Baltimore I taught at Baltimore International College for 6 years, was Director of Food Service Operations for Maryland Community Kitchens (aka Moveable Feast) for 2 years, and then in 2000 I went back to school for IT and changed careers.
I am currently a Senior Systems Analyst for Erickson Retirement supporting our Dining Services, Security and Philanthropy departments.
When I'm not working I enjoy sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, working on my house and checking out the local bands with my friends.
Workplace

on from Johnson and Wales University in 1987 I took a position as Executive Chef at The Mews in Provincetown, MA where I worked for almost 4 years. During my time at The Mews I was featured in 2 articles in The Boston Globe and was mentioned in an article in The New York Times.
In 1990 I moved to Baltimore and taught Baking and Pastry at Baltimore International College as an Executive Pastry Chef. I also started my own company (Food of the Gods) and added the title of Chocolatier to my credentials.
After 6 years of teaching I accepted an offer at Moveable Feast as the Director of Foodservice Operations/Executive Chef.
My interest in the application of technology to the Food Service industry eventually led me to a career change. I was certified as an MCSE in 2000 and left Food Service for a career in Information Systems.
I am currently working as a Senior Systems Analyst for Erickson Retirement managing our Dining Services Information Systems where I am able to blend my experience in Food Service with my love of all things technological.
Along the way I have also worked as a welder, a sound man for a top 40 cover band and a caterer.
