Gardening and cooking
Love for cooking started working in my uncles restaurant El Tipico. I was first a dishwasher and then evolved to line cook. I then left to work at other restaurants such as Paisano's, Bigga on the Banks and La Mansion.
My love gardening started when i purchased a garden home in Canyon Lake Texas. What at first was a choir turned into a great appreciation for creating a peaceful landscape.
