BACKGROUND
Born in the small town of Niagara Falls, New York, I had the good fortune of growing up in a household fueled by pure passion. My mother was a dedicated foster parent who raised over 250 kids. Reflecting on my childhood, my mother’s love and passion-based drive taught me two of the major components of my personal philosophy today: an ever-growing drive and self-fulfillment. Furthermore, my mission to create a legacy that will create a positive change in our world, one improvement at a time, was born.
COMPANY FACTS
In 2018, I launched my first company, Culinary Concepts AB, with the intention to create a socially-minded company that focuses on developing individuals’ passions and abilities by teaching life skills through culinary arts. Since conception, I have had the honor of helping over 100+ students to achieve milestones in life and to establish long-term goals.
