He spent time growing up in Coastal waters (Texas Gulf and Dominican Republic) spear fishing. This exposure to seafood, and watching his grandmother cook was the foundation of his culinary interest. Jaime attended Texas Tech University, where he completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Advertising and Marketing in 1986. He worked as a butcher in a family owned smokehouse for the first two years of his college life. After graduation and several years in the advertising world, Jaime moved to New York City, to work with an uncle in the wholesale produce industry. In 1994, he followed his true passion and enrolled in the California Culinary Academy; and 18 months later---graduated second in his class. Jaime’s first official culinary position was at Café Beaujolais in Mendicino. There he strengthened his aptitude for traditional Mexican, Asian, and French cuisine. With his next stop Napa, Jamie landed at Rutherford Grill, where he was both line and prep cook and then shortly after, recruited by Patricio’s in Dallas. After two years of applying his skills and experience, Jaime was introduced to Cool River Café. With exceptional skill in recipe development and menu strategy, Jaime was co-developer of the initial menu and recipes (and many more to follow) that would open the first restaurant in Las Colinas. He later assisted in opening their Denver store, and then took a position as Executive Chef for the Austin location where he worked for five years. Jaime arrives at the helm of III Forks in Austin as Executive Chef, offering diners a creative menu, nightly specials and absolutely some of the best steaks in town.
