Bill Simmons brings twenty-five years of culinary experience to your event. He began as a cook in the United States Navy, serving from one person to 4,000. After the military he took a five year break from the kitchen, and then resurfaced at Sun Mountain Lodge in Winthrop, Washington. After a year of honing his culinary skills, he was named chef. Shortly there after he was offered a job in Hawaii working on a cruise liner and spent the next few years there getting his sea-legs back and working on improving his knowledge of the kitchen (galley). After a stint as sous chef, American Hawaii Cruises sent him to the Harry Lundberg School of Seamanship in Maryland where he studied culinary arts. After joining the American Culinary Federation he returned to work at sea. From freighter to fishing boat, he worked his way around the world, cooking in such places as Africa,Sri Lanka, England, and Alaska. After getting married in 1989 he moved back to the Methow Valley and took a job at Sun Mountain Lodge. He left there to take a chef's job at another local restaurant and settled in for over 4 years. There were a few other local restaurants that enjoyed his culinary skills until he founded Rent-A-Chef in 1996.
