About Eric

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri where I fell in love with cooking and hospitality at a very young age. My first job was in an Italian deli where scratch cooking and cleanliness were instilled into me. After graduating from high school I attended entered into the hospitality management program at Forest Park Community College. I worked for a local catering company executing high profile events in the St Louis area. Upon graduation I received a scholarship to the University of Houston and continued my education for two semesters there until my father’s illness called me home. I knew I wanted to continue my education so I entered the American Culinary Federation’s apprentice program. I have been the Executive Chef at three clubs in Minnesota, including Golden Valley, Hazeltine National and Town & Country before accepting the position at The Kansas City Country Club.
