After my stint in Chicago, I moved back to Oklahoma City to open a ramen food truck with a former partner to test the idea of a ramen restaurant. My goal was to learn more Japanese cuisine and eat more food outside of what Oklahoma had to offer and bring it back home to be a part of the constantly growing and evolving city and food landscape. I staged (unpaid working audition) at Japanese restaurants Slurping Turtle, Sumi Robata, and Oii Star before finally accepting a position at Arami. I took the leap and quit a stable, salaried career to move to Chicago. I spent two and a half years there before realizing I missed cooking and that I was really passionate about it. I had a short stint there before moving back to Oklahoma City, where I took a position at a local advertising agency in the creative department doing graphics, web design, and social media. I’ll try to make this long story short.Īfter I graduated, I moved to Portland, Oregon, to help my aunt with her Japanese restaurant while job searching a position in advertising. in Journalism & Mass Communication for Advertising. I finally graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2010 with a B.A. I stayed in the kitchen because that’s all I knew and it came naturally to me. However, I did stay in the industry, working throughout high school and college in what was OKC’s best Japanese kitchen at the time. Experiencing all that as my childhood made me not want to get into the food business in my future. I did this every single day after school and all day Saturday-Sunday. I did everything from scrubbing potatoes to bus tables and literally running to the grocery store a few suites down in the shopping strip we were in.

I remember learning how to cook steaks, over easy eggs and roux for gravy as a kid. I was practically born into and raised in the restaurant. He finally slowed down and opened a little mom and pop diner. My father is now retired from the kitchen life but was an executive chef in various hotels and restaurants in and around Oklahoma City my entire life.
