u003cstrongu003eHow did you arrive at Lovin’ Spoonfuls?u003c/strongu003e
I found Spoonfuls after searching for a new career path that would have a meaningful impact on not just myself, but the people around me.
u003cstrongu003eTell us about your background! How did you become interested in food rescue?u003c/strongu003e
As a child, I knew what it was like to wonder where my next meal was going to come from. This company has allowed me to take that feeling away from many families in my hometown of Springfield.
u003cstrongu003eWhat passions do you bring to the job?u003c/strongu003e
I’m passionate about being involved in my community on the ground level.
u003cstrongu003eDo your friends/family consider you a good cook? Any signature recipes?u003c/strongu003e
My wife and children love my chili recipe. There are never any leftovers when I make it.
u003cstrongu003eWhat would we find in your fridge now? u003c/strongu003e
u003cmeta charset=u0022utf-8u0022/u003eRedbull and iced coffee, along with an assortment of fruit.
u003cstrongu003eWhat’s your favorite childhood food memory?u003c/strongu003e
Eating cereal while watching Saturday morning cartoons.
u003cstrongu003eWho are your heroes/inspirations?u003c/strongu003e
That would be my dad. From a young age, he taught me to never give up no matter the obstacle in front of you. The tougher the challenge, the stronger you become when you overcome it.
