Like Zak, some people are just natural mentors--they share knowledge and find fulfillment watching other's excel. Those who have had the privilege to work with, and learn from, Zak are the proof in that pudding, so to speak.

Before he NOCHI, Zak was an instructor at CIA in NYC. And before that, he was whipping up his pastry delights at award-winning restaurants and hotels across the US. Some had stars and others had diamonds, but none came with as much brass as White House where Zak was the a guest chef!
