Summary

                I’m a 30-year-old native French speaking and fully bilingual. I’ve always had a strong cense of motivation for personal projects, my first job began when I was 15 I had learn t how to host servers for games buy and sell domains and I was running a successful game server witch then lead to me hosting my services to a lot of others like me who wanted to build online communities. By the time I was 19 years old I had A cloud network built of my own hardware and a few services I was maintaining for clients While attending college and my first cooking job, I eventually closed my game server and sold off my hardware and client list.

 I found a new passion for cooking at 19 years old and went in full steam a head there wasn’t a week gone by without me trying the same recipe 3 times or more until I was satisfied that I can do it again from memory, touch and, feel. Between the age of 19 and 25 I worked at multiple different restaurants often becoming a manager and serving the role of a chef de cuisine a few times.  I knew early in my cooking career money was never going to be great, so I valued learning as my greatest source of revenue. I always started looking for a new job around the time I had learnt everything the chef’s had to teach me. Never letting my self stale out and keeping my projects alive.

By the age of 25 I was approached by a wealthy investor who operated a chip truck in his younger days. Having some equipment left over and the infamous name and location being available again the investor proposed I spear head the operation. He then provided me with a trailer and the lease of the location, and we agreed on a budget and shares in the company. I contracted away the floors walls and ceiling to be maid with stainless steel, contracted away the electrical load centre within the trailer to be hooked up to our main and meter. Then I also contracted away the propane and hood vent interlock system. The rest I built it all myself from the web site, social media presence, menus, all our signs and photo shop needs, to our prep kitchen in a shipping container and everything in between.

Recent experience

Mr. Norms Chip Truck and Catering, Carlton Place, ON 
Co-founder | July 2019 – September 30^th, 2024

In the summer of 2018, I invested in a 28-foot trailer and oversaw the installation of essential systems. Between March and July 2019, I personally built and furnished the rest, passing all inspections and obtaining the first seasonal business license from the City of Carlton Place on July 14, 2019. Successfully transforming this venture from a one-man operation to a fully staffed, self-sufficient business with an extensive menu has been my achievement. My commitment to quality remains unwavering. I’ve streamlined recipes, implemented structured schedules, and trained a dedicated manager while identifying and nurturing potential managerial prospects. Currently employing 3 adults and 3 teenagers, I manage a permanent location at 10451 Hwy 7, Carlton Place, and an event trailer, 2 hot dog carts for local fairs, farmers markets, events, and private catering.
