I am the RN here at BCC and helping people is my passion. My BSN degree was obtained from Northwestern State University. I moved here from Maryland in 2006 and enjoy spending time with family, hiking, going to old bookstores, gardening, and anything to do with foraging and apothecary.

Inspired by his mothers’ passion for cooking, Byron started his path in the industry as a busboy in a Fine Dining Hotel restaurant here in San Antonio, then eventually moving to prep and line cook prior to joining the Armed Forces. He served his country overseas in the Military and learned an array of Culinary Techniques from local Chefs and Restaurateurs on his off time. After returning home close to seven years later, he jumped back into the industry as a line cook and continued to further his education in Culinary School. He then moved on to be a Sous Chef at a newly built hospital for a few years.

Wanting to expand his knowledge and creativity, Byron ultimately went into the private sector as a Personal Chef and Caterer. In 2019, an opportunity of a lifetime was presented to him and he applied for a position at BCC. Byron is now the Executive Chef and Instructor for the Bariatric Counseling Center here in San Antonio, TX. He strives every day to bring his talents, artistry, and personal connection to food to our wonderful cliental. Byron’s dream is to one day have his own Cooking show on the Food Network and meet his idols he grew up watching.

“I feel so blessed to be a part of this team, and I am very thankful I can make a change in somebody’s life for the good”. Chef Bryon
