Ross 's Story
Life
I finished highschool in Seattle on time. I got a business degree and continued studies in German and Music. I was a musician until I was 24, but the need for food drove me to a career in the kitchen (I had 7 years restaurant experienc by then anyway). I went to school again, and got a degree (and a couple of certificates) in food science. I was already at the Hilton Hotel, so I joined apprenticeship to get more hands on experience. Since then I've been everything from an Executive Steward (king dishwasher and inventory guy) through kitchen manager to Store Manager. I am happily back at my alma matter South Seattle Community College, with one of the best culinary programs in the USA, as well as the only certified European pastry program...Expand for more
s available. I am the banquet chef in a seperate building with a hall which seats 350 people comfortably. I have a few culinary students to help me, but I employ primarily international students because they can only work on campus. I have been in our new wine program for a year to get a food and wine pairing certificate, and will probably go for the wine technology degree. It is a lot more technical than I thought it would be, but we get to drink in every class! It felt weird at first, but I got over it quickly!
I like to rock out at work and play. I enjoy mountain biking, snorkling, gardening, reading and walking. Lately, I've been getting in to photography. I like taking close-up pictures of flowers and the mini biom in the back yard.
