While working with Michelle, I discovered my passion for food and decided to continue to learn and experience as much as I could in the culinary field. After my apprenticeship, I began working at the Sardy House, Colorado’s only 4-Star Bed and Breakfast located in Aspen, CO, as Chef de Cuisine. My combined work experience with Chef Michelle Poumay and the Sardy House only helped to cultivate my abilities as a chef which enabled me to advance my career and take advantage of new opportunities. During 1991-1995, I was the Executive Sous Chef for The Silvertree Properties in Snowmass Village at Aspen, CO. The Silvertree Properties include the Silvertree Hotel, Wildwood Lodge, and Village Property Management a combined room count of 750 rooms and at the time three restaurants, The Brother’s Grille, the Village Steakhouse and Conservatory. Due to my dedication and love of food I also worked as the Executive Chef at Pipins Steak & Lobster Bar in Snowmass Village at Aspen, CO during the winter season of 1996. In Spring of 1996 I attended the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, California. While studying at the academy, I worked at the Meribel located on the top of Nob Hill as the Pastry Chef. The Meribel is often described as, “One of the Bay Areas Hottest Restaurants.” I graduated culinary school with an Associates Degree in the Culinary Arts and relocated to Port Douglas, Australia. There I assisted Bill Conway (Culinary Olympian for Australia ) in the opening of his restaurant, Salsa. In late fall 1997, I returned to The Silvertree Properties as the Executive Chef until 2001. In Fall of 2001, I decided to take advantage of an opportunity to work for the Loews Giorgio Hotel, a 4-star and 4-diamond property in Denver, CO. There I took on positions of the Executive Chef and the Director of Food and Beverage. In 2002, I returned to The Silvertree Properties as both the Executive Chef and the Director of Food and Beverage. While there, I assisted in a $1.2 million renovation of the Silvertree Properties’ main restaurant, The Brother’s Grille. In 2003 I developed, designed, and opened Snowmass Village’s only night club, The Blue Door. During this same year, I also assisted with the Silvertree Properties’ purchase and development of the Snowmass Village Conference Center.
