We love Chef Connor! And we were proud to see him profiled in Milwaukee Area Technical College’s “Transformations Magazine” recently.
From the article, “Fired Up For Success” …
Today, at 28 years old, Murdoch is in charge of an entire kitchen as executive chef for Skyline Catering and the Bucyrus Club in his hometown, South Milwaukee.
“While he was pretty young to become our executive chef, we felt his background, his ambition, his credentials, his enthusiasm, his work ethic and his genuine desire to be a leader within our family of fantastic team members was exactly what we were looking for to build our brand and our future,”said Ernest C. Wunsch, owner of Skyline Catering and the Bucyrus Club.
“Most chefs are job changers over their careers,” Wunsch added. “What really impressed me was that after a year of being with our team and trying out his leadership skills, Connor was convinced that our company would be his forever home.”
“I want this to be my last job,” Murdoch said. “This job checks all the boxes. Half the week, I work during the day and can be home by 4 p.m. to be with my kids. Other days, we have events and weddings at the club. It’s been the best of all worlds.”
As executive chef, Murdoch designed many of the dishes on the catering menu for meetings, events and weddings. He also created sandwiches for a small deli that operates within the club and a unique fish fry that has packed the place to the gills on Fridays.
“The owners here have really let me put my own stamp on things,” Murdoch said. “They’ve allowed me a lot of freedom to be creative.”
And we love your creativity, Connor. We are so grateful to have you on our team.
