JJ Sheridan

I am a chef who has worked in hospitality for over ten years. I have worked in several award-winning restaurants and am passionate about all things food. My second love is the outdoors. Getting into the wild for camping or hiking helps me keep in shape, body and mind. It allows me to be alone and recharge after long and stressful hours working in restaurant kitchens. I also love sharing my knowledge of being outdoors with other people. Getting out into the wild has helped me develop myself and learn to control my stress levels and emotions. I want other people to experience this too. My goal for the future is to be able to help at least one person a day to find something they love, be it cooking, hiking or camping. I want to help them improve their lives and enjoy them.
