I am the chef and owner of the
custom board charcuterie. I have been a chef for over 15 years and have worked all around the world. I started my culinary arts career at the age of 13 years old, and went on to graduate from a culinary high school in Turkey, where I am from. Then I decided that I wanted to learn the most officiant language around the world, English. I decided to move to the US to attend an international language school, where I studied the English language. After returning to Turkey for about a year I went to Switzerland, where I earned an advanced Culinary Arts and Management degree. During this time I worked in high quality and fine dining restaurants alongside talented chefs from all over Europe. After my graduation in Switzerland, I accepted an internship position in Alaska for as a chef. During this internship program I met my wife and moved down to Arizona, where she is from. We got married and lived there for 6 years before returning to Anchorage. While in Scottsdale, Arizona I was a private chef at an exclusive golf club. Two years ago, we moved back up to Alaska and I have been working in hotels, bistros and steakhouses.
I have finally decided to open my own catering business. And I am just one step closer to my goals.
