Describe your business.

I am Chef David with Chef2U, a personal chef business, offering individualized service to customers who want someone to do the shopping, cooking, and cleaning up for them!

What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience?

My first job was as a cake decorator; it taught me how to deal with the public.

How are you involved with both the community and your customer?

I enjoy shopping at the weekly farmers’ market, buying unique and fresh food.

Who is your role model in business or in life, and why?

It would be my grandfather who passed away before I was born; I always wanted to meet him. I’ve heard he was an incredible man.

My favorite local event is just going to the farmers’ market.
