Tell us about yourself
When I was 13 years old, my biggest inspiration was the Pillsbury doughboy, and I knew I wanted to be a chef; when I was 17 years old, I opened my first pizzeria. What keeps me motivated is the adrenaline rush and the pleasure that I bring to my customers.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is when I competed in the Food Network twice and won on Cooks vs. Cons.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
I find one of the hardest things is building the right team; without it, you are nothing.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Hard work, never give up, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, and stay focused.
