I live in Berkeley Heights, NJ and have lived here for about a year with my wife Tara. Prior to that we lived in Hoboken, NJ. I studied cooking professionally at the International Culinary Center in SOHO, focusing on classic French cuisine. Growing up, I've lived all over the country from St. Louis to Topeka, KS to Washington D.C. to Texas (Dallas and Austin). I love music and listen to a wide variety and may even mention it within the blog. I also am a huge sports fan, following The St. Louis Cardinals baseball team as well as Dallas Cowboys football (I don't want to hear about your hatred of the Cowboys...I've heard it all). Hope you enjoy the site!
