About Us!

Birthplace: Jackson, TN. I grew up in Jackson, a small town between Memphis and Nashville. In the heart of that infamous "Southern Hospitality", there was a definite focus on gathering friends and family for good food …and lots of it!

Education: Bachelor of Science, Southwest Texas State University. Major: Agriculture-Horticulture Science

Work History: Included in the acquisition of the degree in horticulture science was a one year internship in nursery management. That, coupled with a previous twelve years experience in meetings, conventions and hotel operations results in a diverse and versatile background.

Why start a Personal Chef Service? After many years of climbing the proverbial corporate ladder, I made a decision to go back to school and complete the quest for the college degree I began 'way back when'. I love gardening, plants and cooking, so the educational path of choice was a hard one to make.

However, decision made, courses completed and on my way to graduation, my husband was presented with a wonderful opportunity to fly for Singapore Airlines. Days after the commencement exercises, we leased our home in Austin, set out to make a new life in Singapore and see as much of the world together as possible. After five years, needless to say, we've been there, done that and got all the tee shirts we can stack in our closets!  Now we're back in our favorite place in the  whole wide world and ready to appreciate the good old USA in a way we never thought possible! My answer to that is to turn my passion for cooking into a new career.

Culinary Experiences: I have taken as many cooking classes as possible over the years both in the U.S. and abroad. I read cookbooks like most folks read novels and whenever the television is on, it is tuned to the 'Food' channel. With cooking, there is always something new to learn. I love to cook, so I'm always learning!
