My name is Raven, or Chef. I've been a chef since 1995. I'm not the knowiest know it all of food, but I'm close. I'm am a Certified Executive Chef by the American Culinary Federation. I'm one step away from a Master Chef. I've been a father since 1998. I've lived, and am living, a great life I'm a fountain of information and an open book. Why does this feel like a dating profile?

You're here! I must love gaming, right?! Of course I do! I potato at FPS. I like survival games. I enjoy strategy games at times. I hike! Where I live, we have 34 state parks. I've hiked (done more than 10 miles on average) 27 of them. I draw! I have a Wacom (Medium) that I may stream some drawing on. I also have a small closet of a studio that I draw maps for D&D, the old fashioned way.. paper I paint! From acrylics, oils, to water colors, canvas, paper, fondant, plates, you name it.. I'll paint anything... even houses. I play Dungeons & Dragons. IRL, and am working on roll20 stuff. I've been playing since 1978, yes 4 years after it's release. I'm THAT old! I love knives. I want to forge them. I have a few dozen. Ask me about them I sing! I have been classically trained by Julliard mentors. I used to sing "semi-professionally" (I got paid to sing at events) I belong to choirs, and to barbershop quartets as hobbies. No I won't sing a few bars of whatever song you want.... Ok maybe I will

I cut my teeth in Classic French and Italian cuisines I've worked for hotels, restaurants, major corporations, and minor ones as well. I love all aspects of food, cuisines, and am well versed in their creation. I have taught culinary school about 12 of the 30 years I've been in the food business. I do not, will not EVER eat Brussels sprouts or oysters. Yes, I'm missing out. Yes, more for you. I have had them every way you can imagine. You will not cook them so different that I will ever eat them, please dont try. Otherwise, food is my passion. I love it.
