Chef Joseph Brown is an Assistant Professor in the Hospitality and Tourism Management program. He began working in foodservice at the age of 16, with no intention of making it his lifelong career. He worked his way up the ranks from dishwasher, to prep cook, to line cook, discovering a love for food and the foodservice industry which led him to attend Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. Upon his graduation, he embarked on a career as a professional chef which has included stints at various restaurants, catering facilities and hotels, often training front & back-of-the-house staff and developing the materials utilized for their instruction. These experiences led him to return to his alma mater where he received his Master of Arts in Teaching.
Chef Brown has served as an instructor of culinary arts and foodservice management at Johnson and Wales University, The International Institute for Culinary Arts, North Carolina Central University and Durham Technical Community College. Most recently he served as Program Head for the Culinary Technology program at Vance-Granville Community College.
