Client Spotlight –
Anne Parker, Chef and Entrepreneur

“What do I want to do with my life?” Anne found herself asking this question after returning to her home state of Michigan, newly single, with a psychology and business degree she wasn’t thrilled with using. Finding herself at a crossroad, she took advice from a book, Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly. The book inspired her to figure out what she loves to do and pursue it as a career.

Anne determined her passion was cooking and enrolled in a one year culinary program at Les Cheneaux Culinary School in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. After completion, she opened a private catering business, focusing on healthy, farm to table cooking. Living in “The UP” has given her some unique culinary opportunities. She has catered excursions for a kayak outfitter and is a private chef for a family from Cincinnati that summers on a private island in Lake Huron.

Now, Anne is embarking on an exciting new culinary adventure! Two years ago, she purchased a Food Truck, and is planning a Grand Opening this spring. She purchased property to stage the Food Truck that is strategically located by the ferry line to Drummand Island. Drummand Island is the second largest freshwater island in the US and is a playground for boaters, golfers, bird watchers, hunters, and fisherman. It also boasts over 100 miles of off-road trails. Anne’s goal is to open the Food Truck before a huge Jeep rally, “The Mac” the second week in May.

When she isn’t cooking, Anne cares for her 26 chickens and 3 dogs. In the summer months she loves to work in her garden and in the winter is on Ski Patrol at Boyne Mountain. She lives in Cedarville, Michigan with her partner, Jeff.
