Before opening Simple Crust Bakery, my path was anything but straightforward. I have lived in seven different states and two different countries. I obtained a BA in creative writing, MA in literature and BS in computer science. If my degree choices seem a bit disjointed...it’s because they are. I could never decide what I wanted to do. My professional career was a collection of fields including retail, fast food, life insurance, US Navy, computer programming, tutoring. I even worked at a marina for some time. I was never happy or satisfied. Yet, amidst this chaotic life, I found one thing to be constant: I have an insatiable thirst to learn and a deep longing for no restraints on my ideas.

​

I just needed to find the right outlet for this insane drive I have. It took a long time, but eventually I found bread. Or rather, I should say…bread found me.
