Guy Spottswood was born and raised in upstate New York in the town of Poughkeepsie. He was educated in the local schools and had hopes of attending the world-famous Culinary Institute of America, in Hyde Park New York, right outside of Poughkeepsie. He never ended up attending the college but, that never deterred him from pursuing the love that he had for the culinary world. Guy started his first professional cooking job at the Radisson hotel as a banquet chef. His journey through the industry has afforded him the opportunity to work at such places as the world’s famous rice diet program at Duke University in Durham North Carolina, where he was the chef there for four years before transferring to the Fuqua School of Business, also at Duke University, as the kitchen supervisor. Chef Guy is also proud to mention his employment at Cornell University as the main house chef at one of the fraternities, which he stayed on there for two years. Guy also has experience in hotels, senior living communities, institutional, restaurants and private cooking expertise.  Through it all his journey has brought him home to serve here at the Warriors heart, Milford Virginia location.
