Kris Williams is a 30 year old culinary arts student graduate from Texarkana Arkansas who is employed as a chef in the TAMUT kitchen cooking for students. He cooked for his family when his mom was injured growing up, then attended culinary school in September of 2007, where he learned how to cook international food as his passion. “…one whole semester was nothing but international recipes and foods and that was amazing.”

He uses his extensive knowledge of food in addition to his social skills in order to brighten the days of students. “Baking and cheesecakes, I love making desserts…” The company Chart Wells caught his eye once he graduated, and he decided to help them provide better and healthier food to students where he could. 

Although he despises the heat of Texas he doesn’t want to go anywhere else professionally since he feels that he is much better suited to this community. He feels that the people here have a tight knit community and he’s proud to have contributed to it. “If we’re talking straight professionalism, I wouldn’t go anywhere else…”
