Kathy and I have worked in government and non-profit agencies for many years with youth and their families, assisting them overcome many challenges and hardships. We have acquired a vast acumen of business management skills and have enjoyed many successes from our commitment to local community initiatives.
In February 2009 I resigned after 13 years as the administrator of a large non-profit youth substance abuse recovery program to devote my full attention to expanding Copper Top Oven, LLC. I've had the good fortune to gain considerable experience leading a staff team in the development of a culinary arts training program and subsequently a catering venture to train high-risk youth in the food service industry.
Kathy is continuing her career as Program Director at a residential adolescent mental health / school program in Petaluma, CA. One of her many duties includes the supervision of the food services program and garden program that contributes fresh produce to meals and educates youth about CA seasonal food cycles.
