DAN CERNEY

Dan is originally from Mukwonago, Wisconsin, graduating from high school there before attending Michigan Technological University.  When it comes to his culinary education, he slyly states that he has had “extensive dishwashing experience” and two years as a short order cook.   Dan’s parents are retired engineers, and he has an older brother. He enjoys reading, learning about military history, and playing video games. And when it comes to cooking, everything is regarded as an adventure with a little mystery attached. This may be a key reason why his future goal is to cook on high-end cruise ships.
