I'm Going to ESCF-Ferrandi to Become a Chef!

It took a long time ... but I finally made it!

About 4.5 years ago I found my passion for cooking. That was it ... I decided that I wanted to become a chef. But first I needed to take a few steps; I had to finish my Aerospace degree, get a job, make enough money for the tuition and living costs, apply for school (which I came to decide it had to be in Paris!), get accepted, get a visa, quit my job and move to Paris! All those are now accomplished and I'm starting my cooking classes in less than a week at Ecole Gregoire-Ferrandi. The past few years have been challenging and hard at times but nonetheless very exciting. Now, Meg and I are in Paris and are starting our new lives here. The feeling is surreal.
