Alexander L. Martin
While attending Michigan State University to complete my bachelors in Economics, I knew my true passion was to create a successful career in the Hospitality industry. I started my post undergraduate career in commercial and retail banking but the goal was always to open my own restaurant; January 2008 I became one step closer and opened J Lafayette Catering Company. From preparing hors d’oeuvres, cooking and serving 150 patrons single handedly, I know the hard work it takes to provide quality service. I didn’t want to wait for acclaimed status to start giving back to my community, so I became a Chef Instructor for Common Threads, a non-profit organization that teaches youth how to cook and eat healthy. For every occasion, whether teaching or serving, I make sure to add the distinction that the moment merits. Whatever the task, I aspire to bring my contagious excitement and passion of food to those around me. Whenever I step into a kitchen, I eagerly look forward to dedicating my creativity and culinary talents to those I serve. My goal for every event, every meal, and my motto in life, is to savor the taste and remember the moment!
