As a child I grew up in a very creative household. Instead of watching TV my father always encouraged us to go outside and explore, build forts and just get in trouble...as long as it wasn't serious trouble. Every since I was very little I had a natural talent for drawing and sculpture. If I just whispered that I wanted to try something like watercolor or photography, my father would find a way to get me the things I needed to do just that. At the time my brother could be found going off jumps on his bike, getting in peach fights, and finding that thing called trouble. Seeing that I was the "creative" one everyone expected me to do something amazing with art. I am still working on the amazing part with our photography business, but I think it's safe to say that I am at least going down that creative road. My brother on the other hand was a huge surprise when he decided to go to culinary institute in Sacramento. Apparently building forts refines your creative skills just as well as watercolor, because my brother has become one of the foremost chefs in Northern California greatly because of his creativity. He creates these mouthwatering dishes from around the world so good that you would think he had been working on the dish for years. He's incredible. He recently got a 4 star review which means that he created a flawless meal for the best critics in Sacramento. He is currently the executive chef at the Slocum House inFairview, CA. so if you are in the area you should definitely go in to try some of his latest creations.
I am so proud of my brother for all that he has accomplished. From skinned knees to the best chef on the planet...that's my personal review, he has really pushed the envelope on creating incredible cuisine. I will keep you posted as he goes on to conquer the world.

I can't say that I remember too many times where my brother was being serious so some of these pictures really crack me up. Stoned faced just isn't him. Someone must have posed him for these.
