Robert Carkin

From a young age, Robert had a profound love of cooking and being a chef was his calling. In the seventh grade, he decided he was going to culinary school and accomplished that goal once he finished high school. After graduating the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), he worked his way around various facets of the industry.

His latest stint before joining the CREA team was in corporate catering, which had a big influence on his current role as Chef Consultant for Taffer’s Tavern. In addition to his passion for consulting, he also has a love for Research and Development. As a result, he is now studying to get his Research Chef Certificate.
