What made you first want to become a Chef?
Well, I was a chef from birth, because I was born hungry! (laughs) And when you’re hungry you better know how to cook! From a very early age I used to hang out in the kitchen and try out a lot of different things. My grandmother and grandfather had a farm and they used to make all sorts of sausages and cheese... So you know that’s how I started. I learned how to make butter and cheese when I was 4 years old. I went to live my Aunt and Uncle at age 5 and cooking was a main focus of our daily lives. I came here to the US when I was 12 and started working at the Marina in the kitchen when I was 14 years old.
