Meet Our New Chef My name is Jim Wheeler, and I am your new chef! I was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware. I studied Culinary Arts at the Philadelphia Art Institute. I have held a number of different positions at some wellknown country clubs in the area, including Philadelphia Cricket Club, North Hills Country Club, Llanerch Country Club and Wilmington Country Club. I have a wife of four years, Julie and a three-year-old daughter, Kiera, with another child due Sept. 14. My hobbies outside of work are spending time with my family and going to Rehoboth beach for summer vacations. I look forward to working along with the team here at Masonic Village to elevate your dining experiences.
