Tell us a little about you, what is your background & where do you come from?
I came to the United States in 1971, arriving in New York City on my birthday (January 21st) with only $200 in my pocket, not speaking any English, and took my first job in a bakery in Brooklyn because that was my profession: I was trained as a pastry chef.

My father was a baker and I started going to work with him when I was 8-years-old and so I knew how to bake bread from him. I grew up in Rosario, Argentina which is the second (to Buenos Aires) largest city and I left for the capital at the age of 17.
