Growing up with hard-working immigrant parents, Kevin helped support his family by working part-time jobs in fast-food chains. While he worked for necessity, it ignited his passion for cooking and this led him to dream about working in fine dining restaurants. Through the Chef Training Program, Kevin was able to achieve his goal and earned a full-time position at Waterbar. This is just the beginning of Kevin's journey!
