From Angus O’Hara in his own words:

I am so very proud and excited to be a part of the amazing concept that is known as The Galaxy!

My first time in a professional kitchen was in the 3rd grade when we had a local career day. When the 8 year olds were asked what they wanted to do “when they grew up” I said that I wanted to be a Chef.

My education was both formal and professional, working to pay for College at an Award Winning Hotel in Iowa City. It was there that, under the direction of Chef Don Funk, I was bestowed the title Garde de Manger (Keeper of the Food) and it was one of the proudest moments of my life.

I am an alumnus of The University of Iowa, Kendall Culinary College, Kirkwood Community College (Culinary), The Chicago Wine College, Windows on the World, Simi Wine Program and a host of other seminars, programs and competitions. My professional and educational experience has put me in some amazing places.

I live in Hubbard, Ohio with my wife of 10 Years, Heather. She has blessed me with my two beautiful sons Declan and Finnian.

My thoughts about cooking can be summed up this way: I am here for you, not the other way around! Cook it well, or not at all.
