- Marshie: Who is your favorite chef, and what is it about their work that really strikes you?
- Chef: I don’t have a (celebrity favorite chef). I like to keep up with what all the chefs are doing (celebrity or not). I do have chefs that I have known for a while and I like to be around them. They are my friends and mentors.
- Marshie: How do you deal with the day in day out stress?
- Chef: When I wake up in the morning, I give myself some time to sit outside and meditate. It helps me to stay calm, to be grateful for what I have, to be understanding towards others, and to be less stressed overall.
- Marshie: How do you balance your work life with your personal life?
- Chef: We have a great time at the club. Family time is very important to me. I often plan activities with my child in advance. When you have a great leader (my Chef) and a strong team like we do, it becomes easier to manage the time to enjoy life outside of work.

- Marshie: What are three nuggets of wisdom you would share to new aspiring chefs?
- Chef: 1. You can learn from anyone around you. Be open minded.
2. Be a subjective as you can, remember everyone is going through something you don’t know. Do not take anything personal. Usually their actions towards you are a reflection of how they feel about themselves.
3. Take care of your health. It is very important to perform in the kitchen.
- Marshie: What is your favorite thing to eat at home?
- Chef: Chinese food

- Chef: n/a
- Marshie: What is your number one safety tip?

- Marshie: Imagine a future where you no longer cook. What would you do?
