Nick is a cook who has been employed by Evergreen for almost 5 years. He always enjoyed cooking, in fact a favorite memories is sitting under the table while his great-grandparents were baking in Arkansas. Nick’s other great-grandparents were some of our first residents here at Evergreen Senior Living in Orland Park. Shortly after they moved in, Nick became a server and started picking up tips from our very own Chef Tony. Chef Tony took Nick under his wing and started to mentor him. Nick decided this was a good field of study, so now attends Joliet Junior College in the culinary program. He is being taught by several master chefs and they, too, have noticed his talent.
Nick has been earned a special grant from Joliet Junior College that will pay for his education. Joliet Junior College will be honoring him with a plaque presented to him with the help of Chef Tony! We are so proud that Nick is a part of the Evergreen Orland Park team.”
