Coming from humble beginnings. Travis Reece, more commonly known as "Chef Reece" was born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in the parish of St. Elizabeth known as the "Bread Basket".

 

Chef Reece learned to care for livestock such as chickens, pigs, cows and goats, in addition to ground provisions not limited to yams, potatoes, bananas and many others at the age of 8 years old.

Being raised in St. Elizabeth, Chef Reece was always destined to become a chef. He grew up on a farm with his Grandmother helping her tend the farm, which led to early aspirations of becoming an Agronomist; however, that was short lived because cooking became his passion
