Hello and welcome to Happy Valley Chow. My name is Eric Pepple and I'd like to take this time to give you an idea of who I am. I am a Penn State Alumni with degrees in Hospitality Management and Saxophone Performance. I have a huge passion for both music and cooking, which is a great combination! 

After graduating from Penn State my wife and I relocated to Fort Wayne, IN (You can take the man out of Happy Valley, but you can't take the Happy Valley out of the man!). By day I am a Territory Manager for US Foods…imagine that, I sell food for a living! By night I am a father of two wonderful boys, Adam (5) and Owen (2), a husband to my beautiful wife Lee (who is also known as The Off Duty Teacher), Food Blogger and most recently I’ve been trying my hand at Food Photography for local restaurants…don’t let some of my unflattering pictures on here be the judge…I’ve gotten a lot better over the past year!

The purpose of this blog is to share my unadulterated love and passion for cooking. I’m hoping that love and passion for cooking resonates with you and helps you become a better cook!
