John spent a fair bit of his childhood jumping his bike Evel Knievel style and building forts out behind his house in Tewksbury Mass. He learned to cook from his mom, Jan who still makes on helluva stuffed squid. His travels through Europe and life in Southern California helped shape the cuisine at Three Blacksmiths. 

Diane will be the first smiling face you'll see when you walk through the door of Three Blacksmiths. She can do an alien face that is without equal among non-extraterrestrials. 

Ben is a New Englander just like Diane and John. He grew up in Lowell Massachusetts, went to NECI in Vermont and won the coveted Golden Whisk for his pastry skills. He's cooked for the King and Queen of Bhutan, helped Smyth in Chicago nab two Michelin stars and is quite the dancer and beard wearer. 

Ethan is one of the original Three Blacksmiths. He helped build our building and while he didn't know much about construction when we started, he's now quite the carpenter. Check out those beams! Ethan crushes prep like nobody else and is now learning how to farm mushrooms.
