Working in Marion County
I love the community that we have built at Liberty Street Kitchen. Our regulars are the best around and very supportive of everything that we strive to do at Liberty Street Kitchen.
Living in Marion County
I enjoy the beauty of Marion County. There is so much to explore with all our parks and the lake. My commute from our farm to work in Pella is picturesque.
Favorite Place to Relax
My wife and fellow Chef Aidan enjoy eating at one of our local restaurants or wandering around one of our town squares.
Career Opportunities
There are so many great companies from Pella Corp, Lely, PPI, Vermeer in Pella and Weiler, 3M and Hormel in Knoxville. There are a lot of great companies that are all growing rapidly.
Community Favorites
I look forward to Kerstmarkt and Tulip Time every year.
Career Advice to Teens
Be prepared to work long and hard. It is the most fulfilling job that I have ever had, but there is some sacrifice involved as well.
