“My family owns a mom and pop restaurant and I worked there growing up. It wasn’t until I got a job in produce that I realized how much work goes into making a restaurant successful, including all the moving parts that supply the business. I’m so inspired by every chef, restaurateur, and others who work in produce that I meet that make all the cogwheels spin!”

“As a young child, my grandmother had a garden in our backyard and while she was cooking, she would ask me to go pick jalapenos, tomatoes, and squash. That garden made a big impression on me and my life. I believe that is where my passion for food and fellowship developed. On Sundays our family would gather at my grandparents’ home to eat and laugh. I believe that no matter what happens in life there is no better feeling than gathering around the dinner table with your family and friends.”
