“I make sure that my sous chef and I get out early when possible. I limit long shifts. I do what I can for my crew whenever I can to keep them mentally and physically rested. I always check in on them and their mental well being. I make the effort to be sympathetic and understand that life happens. We all deal and cope with real life differently and what works for me isn't gonna work or carry someone else through. I wish more people would understand that... sometimes, oftentimes, we just need a hand up.”

“I make mistakes. I am not perfect by any means. I have many flaws, but I acknowledge them and try to work through them to be better than the day before. I try to learn from them and not make the same mistakes again. Most importantly, I try to be a mindful human being.“
