i found this sentence in the book the monk who sold his ferrari.
"however,beneath his crusty exterior was a person who clearly cared about people."

Not exacly.
If the sentence was "Beneath his crusty exterior was a person." then it would be like yours... and equally odd.
That sentence continues with "who clearly cared about people." Just like the suggestion that yours be continued with something like "who knows how to cook."
