Ever since I was a little boy, I loved to eat. Coming from an Italian family, that made a lot of people happy. In my early teens, I wanted to be a police officer, I guess for the thrill and from watching too many ‘Cops’ episodes. However, I began working as a busboy at a hall when I was about 16 or 17 years of age. Long shifts of smelling all that delicious food made me realize one thing, that I belonged in the kitchen, and my passion for cooking really kicked in. I worked as a line cook for a while and wanted to take my passion for food to the next level. I then took a course on the culinary arts, and this, in fact, was where I met my wife, with whom I have four children.
Being from Montreal, I had a lot of opportunities to eat smoked meat. I also sliced it at a young age- I probably ate as much as I cut- and I rank this meal my favourite. Reuben’s would be one of my favourite spots in downtown Montreal. All of this led to a career change working for WDC, where I can bring my culinary skills to the East Coast and help our customers with their culinary questions. In addition to all of this, I also love chilling with my family, hanging out in the old port of Montreal, visiting water parks, taking road trips, playing chess, and listening to some rock music.
