Truly the opportunity of a lifetime. When I accepted the invite to NLC, I thought I was going in to crush people in cooking challenges… What I ended up enduring was a deep dive into myself and discovering who I am, my mental & emotional limits, and what makes me, me.

The show itself makes what we went through look 1000x easier than it actually was. You only get to see 90 seconds of a 25-30 minute period of pure anxiety, adrenaline, fear, excitement, and sometimes joy! Not to mention we obsessed over recipes, technique, and the next days challenge 24 hours a day- yes! Even in our sleep 🤣

Next Level Chef changed the way I look at life, hard work, and myself. Although I came home beat up, it built a fire under my ass to grind even harder and really chase what I want out of life!!

@nextlevelcheffox thank you for the opportunity of a lifetime. This was so much more than a TV show for me.

@gordongram it was truly a privilege to be chosen by you and to be mentored by the greatest to ever do it. I know I was your problem child but at least we had some good laughs and made good TV 😂 I’m grateful for the opportunity & memories, chef!

@nyeshajoyce Thank you for originally choosing me! I know we only got to cook together once & I totally dropped the ball but you did a hell of a job trying to set me up for success. I know after that cook you were probably thankful I was Gordon’s problem the whole time 🤣

@richardblais Chef! It was a pleasure whipping up sushi and paella for the first time with you!! You mentored the hell out of me on those cooks and I enjoyed every minute of it. The regurgitated baby food comment mentally took me out for like 4 days 😂 Grateful for the banter!

Through my roller coaster of a season, I ended up being the only semifinalist and came in 4th place. Freestyling curated dishes with random ingredient grabs may not be my strength, but damn it when that platform stays in elimination it’s a different kind of cook 💯

Lastly, I want to thank my followers for watching every week. I saw the thousands of dm’s and comments of your support and it really made me wish I went harder on the show. You guys are the best ❤️ by @farnumgrindtime

A few years ago I really wanted to be able to make incredible meals for my wife, so started to teach myself how to cook. I started from square one and didn’t know anything, but as the avid nerd that I am- I studied and watched hours upon hours of YouTube videos. Turned out that I really enjoyed it and was pretty good at it so I started a YouTube channel to document my journey.

Never in a million years did I think I would be NOTICED let alone PICKED by @gordongram on his TV show to represent for his team. Truly the opportunity of a lifetime. To be mentored by the greatest chef of all time is something that I will cherish forever. Thank you for believing in me, Chef. We’re going to run Season 3 like no team has done before 💯💯🔥 #TeamRamsay
