David Crane actually went to college to fulfill his childhood dream of playing professional baseball. Although his course of study was Criminal Justice, there was nothing more passionate to him than the sport he adored. After numerous attempts at "catching on" with either a major league club or independent team, reality set in that baseball was not an option anymore.
Shortly after graduating from college David took a job working in a law firm as a paralegal/law clerk, in pursuit of later acquiring a law degree. It wasn't long before he realized this field of work was not for him. Living alone at the time, David started cooking for himself and soon became consumed with everything involved with food. He began to feel the same passion so familiar to him from his baseball days. It was shortly thereafter that his professional cooking career began.
Crane graduated from the highly acclaimed Culinary Institute of America in 2000 and then went on to work in some great kitchens including those of Roy Yamaguchi and Richard Sandoval. After priceless years of experience working as a professional chef, David is eager to combine his well polished cooking skills with his innate baseball mentality and apply it towards the personal chef industry.
A manager is only as good as his players as a chef is only as good as his ingredients
