A native of Jamaica, Baker discovered his passion for food early on, with childhood memories of enjoying curry goat and jasmine rice. As he grew older, so did his enthusiasm for food, and he dedicated his time to exploring the world and cultivating his craft. With herbs and spices from the Caribbean and rich sauces from France serving as inspiration, Baker has broadened his technique by sampling authentic foods from around the world and understanding that a meal can reflect an entire culture. With an unending passion for his craft, Baker transformed his love for food into a career. Baker studied charcuterie at the Rockford Vocation Heart School before further developing his craft as a line cook. His enthusiasm for bringing joy to his guests fueled his career in the culinary world, as he has worked in many kitchens throughout Florida. Most recently he was lured to the sunny shores of Fort Lauderdale, where he served as the executive sous chef for The Foundry.
