About My Sushi Sensei

I started making sushi about 5 years ago, when my brother bet me that I couldn’t. I watched YouTube videos and went into sushi shops to watch them work their magic. Eventually I considered myself learned and taught him how to roll. After that I found teaching it to other people was very satisfying so I started teaching all of my family and friends, and their friends, and their friends' friends. 3 years into my sushi journey, I was going into Fisherman’s Market to buy fish for an event I was hosting and saw Fishermans was hiring a sushi chef. I applied and they hired me on the spot. Fisherman’s market is really where I honed my skills and earned all of my professional sushi knowledge and skills.

After being laid off in the first round of the corona virus I bounced around to a half dozen other jobs over the following 2 years. After hosting a 12-man out of town sushi class for a friend of my roommate, they recommended I start charging people because and I quote “Oh yeah, I would totally have paid you way more for this class…”. It was like getting smacked upside the head. I got laid off from my job at the time a few weeks later and then sushi suddenly bubbled to the top as my best option. I started My Sushi Sensei a month later and have been furiously slinging sushi ever since!
