I am an assistant VP for Citibank. I am married and have daughter. I was born in Ohio, but grew up in Tampa from the age of 8. I started cooking when in college, and won a couple of chili cook-offs in Tallahassee. I love the variety of foods in Florida, ranging from cajun recipes that are part of the acadian culture around Tampa, the Cuban restraints that abound here, the traditional southern foods (although I'm not a big fan of deep fried foods), and the abundance of fresh seafood. I am infamous (particularly with my wife) for coming up with a great dish, and never even writing down what I put in it. That's why my award winning chili recipes aren't listed, I have never made it the same way twice. Any recipe I post is just a starting point, and if you play around with some other ingredients, and find a good new twist on one, I'd love to hear about it. -Matt
