My
name is James Grimm and I recently graduated from our internal flavorist
training program at Procter & Gamble. Before entering the program I worked in Beverage Product Development developing flavors and finished products for the Sunny Delight and Hawaiian Punch brands under the guidance of Mr. Robert Swaine Jr.. I am currently developing flavors for the Crest and Scope brands in our Health Care Division. I am married and have three boys. We live in Hanover Township, and our family is active in sports, community projects and Church. My interests include running, exercise, nutrition, and keeping up with my three boys! |
Gregory E. James Apprentice Member since Apr 2001 Kraft Foods |
I
was born in Trinidad (West Indies) and lived there until the age of
21. Upon arriving to the United States, I enrolled in University of Florida followed by University of Illinois to complete a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in food Science. My first experience in the flavor industry came through Weber Flavors. There, a passion was sparked, from the realization that flavor creation is a unique and elite profession requiring skills in blending art and science. Weber enabled to lay a strong foundation through the guidance of Bill Igou. My continuing experience at Kraft Foods, under Susie Sadural, further refined my creative skills and enriched my knowledge about flavor/base interaction. My hobbies include meditation, martial arts, and snow boarding. |
Terrence J. Miesle Certified Member since 1997 Quest International |
I
have both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Food Science from The
Ohio State University. In 1991 I started work with F&C Flavors, and stayed with the company through the bankruptcy and subsequent purchase by Wild. In 1995 I started work a Quest International in the Savory Flavor group, and remain there. Much of my recent work has been flavoring meat systems and butter and cheese systems. I do woodworking and gardening, enjoy camping and hiking, and spend time playing with our dog each day. I'm active online with a couple of hobbies. We purchased a house in 2000, in Dundee, IL, built before 1891, and will be doing exterior work this year. |

I
am a Flavorist at Givaudan Flavors in Cincinnati. I have been with the company 10 years. I create flavors for the Beverage and Sweet Goods industries. I was born and raised in Charlottesville, Va. I studied Biology at the University of Cincinnati. After graduating in 1988, I was with the U.S. Peace Corps in Guatemala for 2 ½ years. I enjoy traveling, cooking, reading, and swimming. I also like to spend my time volunteering for various organizations. |
David A. Madrid Certified Member since 1998 Givaudan Flavors |
I
was born and raised in Northeast NJ. I received a BS in Physics from Purdue University in 1992, then relocated to Cincinnati. My first job in the flavor industry was with Givaudan (then Tastemaker), where I worked in the sample department, compounding flavors and learning raw materials. I moved to Flavor Creation in 1992 and began my Flavorist training under Jim Moon. I was promoted to Flavorist in 2000 and work primarily on beverage flavors, with focus on alcoholic products. I currently live in Cincinnati with my wife, Gina. My hobbies include film, playing blues guitar, bowling and hiking. |
