After graduating High School in 2008 I went to a traditional 4-year college for a year. Figured out that was not for me and joined the Coast Guard in 2009 and graduated from Culinary Specialist "A" school that same year. After 13 years in the fleet cooking on ships I applied for the Special Command Aide program and was picked up. Currently now myself and my team cook for the Secretary of Homeland Security.
