"I’ve had the privilege of knowing him for just about his entire life, and one thing has never changed—his strong work ethic and unwavering dedication. He’s an incredibly talented chef whose passion and skill shine through in everything he creates, and his candid sense of humor always brings laughter to those around him. Above all, he’s a devoted family man who deeply loves his wife and children, and his faith in God is reflected in the way he lives his life and treats others. He’s someone I’ve always admired, and I’m grateful to have watched the man he’s become."
