Quotes

 

“I worked as a pastry chef as a couple years, and while I found it really fulfilling  I started looking at my career long term, and the longevity, and decided maybe this isn’t for me” 

 

“Before I start to talk about ADHA I need to nod my hat to CDHA”

 

“The school said we would love to hear your presentation, but we cannot have you speak to our students” 

 

“I’ve got to go back to school if I am going to continue with this company and open myself up to other opportunities” 

 

“I think from that moment… I was hooked”

 

“What about the patients… the patients are the ones that are going to suffer here”
