1. How did you become a chef?

3. What is your favorite kitchen memory?
Memories are made every day and there isn’t one that is better than the other.
4. What is your favorite dish to cook?
I am first generation American and was taught to cook by my mother and great-grandmother, so it’s the obviously my German roots but really the canning and preserving of the seasons to enjoy them in off-season that I like the most.
5. Do you have a personal connection to Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia?
I do not have a personal connection.
