In 1993, Simpson joined the restaurant North 44 in the northern section of Toronto. He initially joined the restaurant as an unpaid stage, before working his way up in the kitchen. He left North 44 briefly in 2002 to help open Bymark, another restaurant by North 44 owner Mark McEwan, as executive sous chef. However, he returned to North 44 soon after and, in 2003, became the executive chef of the restaurant.

In 1979, Simpson was adopted by Sandra Simpson, the founder Families for Children, the group that sponsored the orphanage. He moved to Toronto with Ms Simpson, where he lived with the Simpsons' four biological and 28 other adopted children.
