Chef Bill is a Colorado native, who has been practicing his culinary skills here since 1966. With thirty years of experience in food service operations, his work was enhanced with a degree in Culinary Arts from the Colorado Institute of Art and Certification from the American Culinary Federation as Chef de' Cuisine in 1996. As a Certified Chef de' Cuisine, Bill served as Sous Chef at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Downtown Denver and as Executive Chef for McGraff's Casual Dinner House in Loveland, Colorado. More recently, Chef Bill has been certified with the APCA and received accreditation as an APCA Chef Instructor.

In 1997, Chef Bill received the title Special Events Coordinator for the Summit Restaurant in Loveland. “This is where the idea to focus on the aspect of becoming a personal chef came from. Combining the enjoyment of preparing the food service for all the special occasions we have had, but more as a result of the recognizing the needs of our everyday or repeat customers.” From weddings with several hundred guests to dinners for two, the Special Events Coordinator became the platform to which the need for Personal Chef services in Northern Colorado was recognized.
