About Shawn

"I've been in the industry for over 25 years; wow, what a journey! I started in this industry in the dish pit at a very young age and never looked back. I have worked all over the business, from helping my mother serve ice cream for private members to creating the finest of meals in restaurants. You can even add bartending and serving to the list too! I believe being a chef is one of the most challenging jobs in this world, so a great sense of humor is a must to last as long as I have. The ability to make people smile with the Culinary Creations I've placed in front of them or even our conversations. No matter where I have worked, I strive to make it the busiest it has ever been, and I have done so successfully. I'm looking forward to succeeding at that here!"
