COMPETITION: World Dessert Championship
I started running a meat slicer at my mom's deli when I was twelve and, I still have all of my fingers. 27 years later I continue to find new ways to be a part of the food world. During that journey I have worked almost every position there is including 18 years of restaurant management. I have been a sandwich artist, ran a food truck, chef at a daycare, recipe development and currently teach Food Safety with The Food Safety Guy.
