Mark Kennedy

I'm a chef and sales professional that's as passionate about people as I am food. Over the last 20 years working in both small and large scale establishments, I've learned that at the heart of any great organization is an exceptional team and a growth minded approach. I'm looking to bring my experience to a new team and build something special.
