Will's Story

Biography of Will Greenwood video and further bio info- myspacedotcom/chefwillgreenwood From his successful and high profile achievements he caught the eye of the Clintons and they requested he seek the position as one of three to become the White House Chef. With this past honor he was historically allowed to cook the Head of State luncheons, which has traditionally been prepared only by the Whitehouse staff, during the NATO 50TH anniversary celebration all the while orchestrating 10k people with three meal periods a day for three days. He has cooked for Presidents Bush Sr.& Jr. many times and the Bush family called the Jefferson home for the campaigns and inaugurations. His talent bestowed him the honors of Best Chef in America award from the American Academy of Restaurants in 1996 and Chef of the Year in 1994 from the National Restaurant Association. He is known for his successful expertise in organizational development, trouble-shooting abilities and restaurant opening skills that he has provided through-out his years.

Jacobs Group from Jacobs field, Tu-Tu Tango, Small Luxury Hotels, Boutique Hotel Collections, Baldwin Bowling Nationally with Tri-fecta Management, Electrolux International Certified Chef as well as many other smaller entities working in numerous openings and reorganizations.
