Born and raised in Wheaton, Illinois, George grew up in a large family and with a lot of home cooking. He always loved following a recipe step-by-step and watching it all come together in the end. George started in the industry as a server at his late grandmother’s retirement home and eventually worked his way up to garde manager. From there George found his love and passion for cuisine, later graduating from College of DuPage with a degree in Culinary Arts.
George joined Elements at Water Street to complete his internship in 2017 and has been with the company ever since. From prep cook, to lead cook, to Sous Chef, George has grown with the company and become a staple in Elements Kitchen. During the Covid Shutdown in IL, George had the amazing opportunity to venture to Florida and work for Jupiter Island Club. There, he was able to fine tune his knife skills and work on efficiency and speed. George then returned home and re-accepted his position as Sous Chef at Elements. George’s attention to detail, his leadership qualities, and talent in the kitchen makes the company proud to have him.
