I am a hardworking professional who has been consistently praised by my coworkers and employees. Over the course of my 25 year career as an Executive Chef I have developed a specific skill set directly correlating to recipe construction and menu development. I have also been involved in many cooking demos and worked as an instructor for several cooking classes. Additionally, during my last position, I was in charge of running a well known local venue. Not only was I the Executive Chef, but also the General manager and production manager. Day-to-day responsibilities of running the business included many tasks. Bookkeeping, Marketing, Talent Outsourcing and Production Management was the majority of my responsibility. The Crown Uptown Theater was a dying business (from my predecessor) with a deficit of $4.7 million over a 3 1/2 year spread with an average loss of $150,000 in overhead costs and $300,000 in expenses every month. From the beginning, I managed to turn a $15,000 profit (after expenses and overhead) each month. I worked 110 hours a week and sacrificed everything until after 2 years I refused to continue due to insufficient time with my wife and kids and extremely low compensation. Shortly after I left, the business (Crown Uptown Theatre) was sold and is now in the final stages of restructuring. I not only learned but succeeded in completing any and every task that was thrown at me whether I was experienced or not. This occupation was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and I did not fail. I believe that there is nothing that I am not capable of accomplishing. For the past three years I have been working on the Upwork platform for many different clients. I have completed many jobs successfully such as restaurant consultant, recipe developer, culinary instructor, macro-nutrient meal planner, ghostwriter and published writer. I have a very wide skill set and am willing to always try new projects. I hope that I am the type of competent and competitive candidate you are looking for. I look forward to elaborating on how my skills and abilities will benefit you.

In the last five years, I've worked in two agencies honing my writing abilities. I've written across multiple media, including websites, print ads, radio spots, video scripts and a small bout of technical writing. I've been excited about writing and editing copy since I was old enough to start reading. I am as intrigued by the proficiencies in language (semantics, syntax, grammar) as I am by the creative piece (structure, voice, rhythm). I can be as invested as you are. If you need someone to capture your voice, we can work together until I can parrot you. But if you need quick turnaround for basic copy needs and can provide me with a sample, I can do that too.

I have proofreading work dating back to 2007 and a keen eye for mistakes. I strive not to let one typo slip past while still being time-efficient. I fully grasp the complex rules of English grammar and yet understand the nuances and importance of dialectal variations, slang, and grammar differences based on the publication being online or in print. I am a native US English speaker. I have accredited proofreading and editing work in book publishing, written list articles published online, and published an informational video about prevalent grammar mistakes. I attribute my skill of noticing typos, grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes, and inconsistencies partly to my love of reading. I grew up with computers and so am familiar with Microsoft and Adobe programs but also am able to learn new programs easily. I have two degrees, one in Anthropology and one in French. I believe knowing a second language helps me further understand my native language.
