About James

Born and raised in rural Southern Maryland, Chef James grew up with the experience of home-cooked country-style meals and delicious seafood from the bountiful Chesapeake Bay. Influenced by this, he grew to enjoy cooking and eating various types of food. In his 20s, after visiting some of her family while on vacation, he and his then-girlfriend Lauren decided to relocate to South Florida because they loved the beach and lifestyle and haven't looked back. The move exposed him to many more cultural cuisines, and with his talent for cooking, he was able to learn and grow as a chef while working at an international resort. Through industry connections, he was then offered a position as banquet chef at Monarch CC in 2013, where he has again expanded his skills and thrived. He has now obtained his goal of becoming executive Chef, and in the meantime, he and Lauren became married and grew their family to now include 3 lovely daughters, with one more due very soon! In his spare time, his daughters make sure to keep him busy - whether it is going to the beach, hiking, canoeing, snorkeling, or just hanging out at home. Music and concerts are another favorite, and he is always sure to have some of his favorite jams playing while he whips up a delicious meal.
