    ​About Sam 

    Sam, born and raised in Euless, TX, grew up as an only child in the 80s and 90s. Influenced by his father and grandmother, he developed a passion for cooking, fascinated by the endless possibilities of food. While his childhood was filled with baking desserts for school, it wasn't until high school that he decided to pursue a career in culinary arts. After highschool, he earned an Associate's Degree from a culinary program in Waco. After graduation, Sam worked in Dallas across various hotels, country clubs, and restaurants before joining Southlake. Sam married his wonderful wife in October, who supports his eccentricities, and they have two lovable rescue Pitties, Dexter and Zoey.
