Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Building Something of My Own A major driver for me is ownership and legacy. I'm not just running kitchens—I'm building systems, branding, recipes, SOPs, and documentation that can live beyond a single location. I believe this shows inspiration rooted in entrepreneurship and long-term business building.

How do you stay motivated?

Building and Growing Your Own Brand What keeps me moving is the vision of building something that belongs to me. Every SOP I write, recipe I standardize, and system created for Chef B’s is another step toward growing the brand and leaving a legacy in the culinary world.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded the $25,000, I would use the funds to launch a Chef B’s Wraps & Sandwiches food truck. The investment would go toward purchasing and equipping the truck, branding and marketing, permits, and initial inventory. This would allow us to expand our reach, serve more communities, and create a strong mobile presence while continuing to grow the Chef B’s brand."
