About Me
I like food. A lot. I like to eat food, cook food, bake food, and read about food.
In college, I spent several years working for a local candy and gourmet shop. For most of my adult life, I worked at a local seafood restaurant. In my years there, I worked as a server, bartender and manager.
In 2008, I left the restaurant business for a job with regular daytime hours and weekends off. However, I did not leave the food industry entirely. I now work for La Tienda, one of the leading retailers of Spanish food in the United States. Most of La Tienda’s sales are online and I’m lucky enough to live near their warehouse and headquarters just outside of Williamsburg, VA.
I’d like to open a bakery of my own someday…hopefully it will happen in the not so distant future. In the meantime, I’m going to keep cooking and perfecting recipes for potential bakery use.
As a result of all this food love, I’ve kind of become an amateur food photographer. If this bakery thing doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll take up food photography as a vocation…but for now, it’s just a hobby.

Hi there –
I am getting in touch with you to invite you to check out our new food photo submission site, called DessertStalking.com . DessertStalking has been in operation for only a couple weeks, but it is growing fast, with more bloggers registering to make submissions every day. In addition, contributors are beginning to notice an increase in the number of visitors to their blogs. That means more new friends, and if you run ads, increased revenue, as well as the chance to further spread your particular point of view when it comes to making great food.
DessertStalking is dedicated to the sweeter side of life – all sorts of desserts, treats, snacks and breakfast foods are welcome, as well as yeast and quick breads. I noticed that when I submitted dessert photos to the other submission sites, I got 3 or 4 times the hits as I did for savory submissions. People love desserts, and they love looking at great photos of the work of people who are creative in the kitchen, so why not a site that concentrates on goodies?
I hope that you will stop by, take a moment to register and give us a try. Two things we ask: just one submission per post please, and only one submission every twenty four hours. Every accepted submission gets a tweet [follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DessertStalking ], and if for some reason, your photo is not accepted, we will drop you a line to let you know why. Our submission guidelines are available on the site, along with answers to frequently asked questions. We try to get back to you as soon as possible, so don’t hesitate to send us an email if you have any questions. Hope to see you there soon!
