He works to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff every day by assisting with events and catering to everyone’s needs. He is always willing to work to make the events successful.
“I challenge myself every day to establish a culinary culture in dining facilities where life revolves around the kitchen every day of the year,” he said. “That means creating healthy food choices for the entire campus through constant collaboration with students, staff, faculty, and visitors.”
