In 1992 he graduated from Grand Rapids Community College, and not long after, traveled to Belgium where he worked to develop his knowledge of classical European pastry and chocolate. He returned to the US in 1994 and worked as Executive Pastry Chef and Executive Chef of Private country clubs and fine dining restaurants throughout California, Indiana, and Michigan.
