Inspired by his Great Grandfather, who was personal chef to General Pershing during World War I, Chef Deaver\'s culinary journey began at an early age. He grew up working on his family’s 380 acre farm in Maryland cultivating both table vegetables and large crops as well as tending to some of the animals which they raised and butchered.

After graduating at the top of his class, Deaver moved north to Hamilton Township, New Jersey to work at Rats Restaurant, followed by training in some of New York City\'s top kitchens- Picholine, Le Madri and Daniel. He has since traveled the country, with professional stops including New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Myrtle Beach, Lake Tahoe, Park City, Palm Springs and San Diego.
