I work for a publicly owned company. Some people joke that you should ask yourself at the end of every day,  "How have I helped to improve share holders value today?"  

 I honestly can say that I don't do that. That is not the reason I go to my job every day. 

My passion is food. My belief is food. 

I ask myself "How have I helped improve the food for our consumers today?" or "What did I learn about the science of food today?" or even "How have I shared my passion for food with the people around me today?"

People may think I am crazy in that I center my life around food. People may think that I have eating complexes. However, that is the furthest thing from the truth. I love food, therefore I respect food. I want to share it with those that I love to create memories. I want to cook with people to share understanding of the science of food, experimenting with flavors and creating balanced and nutritious meals. Food is the connection of all things. 

My life is a life rich with food and the memories created around it. I ask what better way is there to live?
