       Cookenstein is an effort for me to tell my story as it goes along. Likes, dislikes my career, and who I am as a Cook. First off, my name is Kevin Wilson. Cookenstein just kind of fits my behavior of the fact that I always have my hands in multiples of things, or am made up of so many different things, life wise.  
I call myself a cook because that was where I realized that this would be the thing that stuck with me in life. Good or bad, it is who I am.  My instincts, actions all come from how I was then, and how I learn now. I have been a chef  for several companies, and have progressed up the food chain since. But I am a cook at heart.
Cookenstein kind of demonstrates this. My interests are certainly not just in the food field. I love technology and many things about it.
Like with food I am learning everyday, and always will. This site brings those two worlds crashing together. I am master of nothing, but know a little of many things. Cookenstein will eventually tell, how it all started, and where it currently interests and takes me. Everything I am and have now has come through the kitchen in life.
It all really started in the dishroom. You have to know how to peel a potato before you can cook it.
I still feel today that somehow I am just starting out in so many ways. It is always been a side of me that feels insecure, of my own strengths and abilities. Maybe it is what keeps me grounded or as focused as I can be.

     For the past going on 2 months now, I have embarked on some life changing decisions, as well faced some long term issues that have not come without it's share of pain, both physically, mentally, and emotional. While this work for me will be something that involves a daily reckoning of sorts, and will continue for possibly years to come, it makes me wonder how I got this far.

    One of many of my issues has been one of self esteem, and over the years this has been a crippling issue for me. It effects how I deal and do not deal with people. All the more reason why I always question how I made it to this point. I think I can say that I am not a bad person and generally care about my fellow person. I love my family and hope that the changes I am making will be ones that get my life back on track. This little bit of commentary is just some re affirmation.
