><p>Chris Struck credits his upbringing in a large hybrid French-Deeply Southern U.S. family in the coastal city of Destin, Florida as what incited his passion for food and beverage at an early age. He began cooking professionally within Chef Tim Creehan\u2019s fine dining restaurant group at the age of 14 and supplemented his formal restaurant apprenticeship with self-study trips to Europe, working in both kitchens and vineyards to gain greater knowledge of regional cuisines and wines. After completing his undergraduate degrees in Culinary Arts &amp; Food Service Management at Johnson &amp; Wales University, Struck gained certifications from the Wine &amp; Spirits Education Trust, the Society of Wine Educators, the Court of Master Sommeliers Americas, and the Deutsche Wein und Sommelierschule in Koblenz, Germany. Struck holds an Executive MBA in Food Marketing from Saint Joseph&#8217;s University in Philadelphia. Practical restaurant experience has included opening 8 restaurants in capacities of both front and back of house throughout his career, most recently at Racines NY, where he served as an assistant sommelier, and Danny Meyer\u2019s flagship Union Square Cafe, where he currently works as a sommelier.
