I was born in Scottsdale in 1954 and moved to California in 1966. I am a graduate of Blair High School, class of 1972. At that time I began working at Pie ‘N Burger as a night cook while attending USC. My major at the time was pre-dental. After one year of college I decided that being a dentist was not really what I wanted as a career. I loved working at the restaurant and upon graduation in 1976 struck a deal with the owners to become the manager. In 1978 I bought part of the business and the rest in 1992. While having only one restaurant we have expanded into catering and a food truck. I married in 1985 and have three grown children. The restaurant has been here over 60 years and has been on many food shows and won numerous awards for the burgers, as well as the pies. I am just starting my 53rd year at work and still derive much joy and satisfaction from my career.
