Early decision

Why did I become a chef? I ask myself this question again and again. To answer that question, I do not need many words.

I became a cook because I helped out a lot in my parents‘ restaurant and I became aware of one truth: This was me. This was what I had been sent here to do. It was a conscious decision that I made early on.

From day one, my years of apprenticeship in the Black Forest were very demanding. As a young man I had no idea what I was getting into. But, in the end, I came to several conclusions: Yes, I have learned a lot. Yes, this gives me pleasure and yes, this is the right profession for me.

Today, these conclusions have not changed. I have chosen the best career for myself.

To become what I am today took hard work, discipline and perseverance. However, that alone would have not sufficed. There was also luck and above all, people who trusted me and believed in me.
