ABOUT ME

Profesional Chef. It's been a tumultuous past couple of years with lots of major life changes but things are good and continue to improve. So moving into a more "positive attitude" approach to life and aiming to enjoy, explore and expand my connections with people, life and the world. I'm looking to surround myself with quality, interesting and people who have a positive approach and outlook. I'm a very open minded person and I prefer to be around similar minded people. We all have our own preferences, opinions and difference and I welcome and appreciate that. But someone who is closed-minded and cannot listen to or even respect that someone may feel or live their life differently I don't think we'd connect well.

PHILOSOPHY

Find a way to do what you enjoy - not just do what you have to. Life is too short to get "hung up" on the little bumps in the road so accept it and enjoy the ride!
