Background

About Michael Gilson

As a Food Service Director at Hilly Hundred, a multi-day cycling event in Indiana, I plan and order food for thousands of riders, volunteers, staff, and VIPs, ensuring quality, variety, and safety. I also coordinate with logistics, vendors, water suppliers, and local food pantries to manage the distribution and donation of food on the festival route. I have been in this role for over three years, leveraging my culinary arts background and financial skills. In addition to my food service role, I am a professional photographer with over four years of experience in running my own freelance business. I specialize in conceptual art, portrait, food, landscape, and family photography, using a studio in downtown Indianapolis and on-site locations with my mobile equipment. I am passionate about capturing the stories, moods, and beauty of human life and nature, and I keep up with the latest social trends and fashions to align my creativity with my clients' needs and preferences.
