    I am Chef Tom from New York. As far back as I can remember I have always enjoyed cooking. As a child, my grandmother would teach me how to recreate many of our families famous recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. It was not until my high school years that I realized cooking could be my future. I got a summer job as a dishwasher at a popular restaurant in St. Augustine, Florida. My intense work ethic allowed me to be promoted quickly. Within months I was able to work in all parts of the kitchen. I enjoyed the hard work and the gratification I received from all the happy customers.

    Two years later I moved to NY and was hired to be head chef at a local Italian restaurant. At the same time, I was preparing for college and was putting much thought into my future. I decided to study cooking and restaurant management and I received my degree in restaurant management. To this day, it doesn’t matter if I’m cooking for a packed restaurant or my family and friends at home, I’m always happy when I’m in the kitchen!

    But I'm not just all about cooking. I also enjoy the internet. I currently do various forms of freelance work. From web design to graphics, to video editing. I guess you can say I do a little bit of everything.

    Glad to be here!

    Hey Cheftom!

    That's a really inspiring introduction - you've worked hard and studied at the same time. So many people could learn a lot from you.

    Hope to see you adding more words of wisdom to these threads here on DP.

    Good luck,
