Kevin Clarke is a 1996 graduate of Colorado Mountain College's first Culinary Arts class and has been the director of the Keystone program since 2000. He has been involved in the food and beverage industry for over twenty years with experience ranging from being the chef of a white water rafting company to the Chef de Cuisine for the historic Ski Tip Lodge in Keystone, Colorado.
Kevin has been actively involved in culinary competitions for the past fifteen years and acts the coach for the student competition team at Keystone, leading them to several state championships.
Kevin urges culinary candidates to seriously consider Colorado Mountain College when looking for a respected program that can translate into a five-star career:
"Colorado Mountain College's apprenticeship program is so unique and powerful because it gives students the advantage of having three years of work experience while in training. Other schools' programs are primarily based on classroom lectures, so their students lack real world experience and experience combined with education is what will get you the job you are looking for."
