THE AUTHOR











A lifelong resident of southeastern Pennsylvania, he graduated from West Chester State College with an Accounting degree. He crunched numbers for many years before succumbing to a midlife crisis. Graduating from “The Restaurant School” and spending the last ten years cooking. He started to scratch the writing bug during the blistering summer heat of 2008.

THANKS

                   THE GOOD LORD

Every chef who ever pissed me off…. You forced me to write

The Restaurant School: their teaching of cooking techniques, really did teach me how to cook. (Even though I did not believe it at the time)

Pam: for telling me to go to cooking school

Shane: for encouraging me to write

* James J. (The Baron) Campbell: for instilling a love                       of language

* Mary T. Curran Campbell: for encouraging me to do                    what I love

* WILLIAM (BUTCH) WALLACE

You are the inspiration
·                                 Rest in peace

and still the wonder grew
