Saul grew up in a low income, single parent home in Oakland with his mom, who has always done most of the cooking“ he would love to return the favor by taking on more of the cooking. He proudly says that his mom inspired him to strive toward a career in cooking. He took a class at Laney College, where he was guided by a mentor and learned the basics. Along with starting to make food at home, Saul also has experience decorating cakes at a bakery.

His teacher introduced him to Sprouts Chef Training and encouraged him to apply. He had a wonderful experience at Millennium and found everyone kind and outgoing, especially his mentor Chef Eric.

Saul obviously loves a challenge as he has run a half marathon, and enjoys biking and being a part of his school's biking club. We are fully behind Saul's career goal of being a traveling chef, “tell us where you'll be, and we will show up, napkins in laps!
