After graduation he decided to attend Sea Islands apprenticeship program down in Georgia. After a year of working in the majority of Sea Islands restaurants including the highly acclaimed “Georgian Room”, he knew he wanted to explore the history and techniques of cooking. With that in mind he took his career to the next level by attending the ICC in Campbell, CA. While attending the ICC he worked at a dedicated farm to table restaurant called the Haymarket as the sous chef. Upon graduation from the ICC he decided to take his career back to the east coast and work for Bryan Voltaggio in his fine dining restaurant VOLT.
