I should be the favorite chef because I am trained from the bottom up and humble. I want to turn kids into cooks and build a culture

Who or what inspires you to cook?

Being in the Sonoran dessert has inspired me a lot. To work in Tucson AZ and be part of the first city of gastronomy has given me a lot of cultural influence. I also stem from the Midwest so my Mom's traditional cooking has always been an inspiration as well.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Chorizo fried rice

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to start the build out on my own food truck. I would also get my roof fixed and house painted because home ownership has proven to be expensive lol
