Has it been a smooth road?
I was blessed to be in this business for 20+ years, so I did not face many obstacles along the way.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Chef Levy LLC story. Tell us more about it.
After many years of working at country clubs and hotels, I branched out and started Chef Levy’s Catering about two years ago. The elite service that I gave to members at country clubs, is the same service I can give to my clients. We create all types of cuisines from all over the world such as vegan, Latin, Southern , Italian, middle eastern ,and Caribbean food .  We also specialize in weddings, wine dinners, corporate events, and many more.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
In the next 5-10 years, I see myself creating my own restaurants, and catering venue.
