Originally born and raised in New York, and formerly the executive chef of the Courthouse Restaurant and Lounge, I moved to the State of Tennessee to be closer to our Children and Grandchildren. Although retired from working as a chef I still have a passion for cooking and love creating new recipes to share with family and friends.
