Before joining HIDOE, Robert built a career in culinary and hospitality, starting with the Marriott Corp. on Kauaʻi and later holding leadership roles in Seattle, San Diego and Palo Alto with organizations like Bon Appétit, Wolfgang Puck and Compass Group. His work took him to high-profile accounts including Google HQ, LinkedIn HQ, and the MET museum in New York. After decades in catering and events, he pivoted to school food services, bringing his expertise back home to serve Hawaiʻi’s students.
Q: 본인의 커리어 경로에 대해 간략하게 설명해 주세요.
A: I attended Kapiʻolani Community College and was involved in their culinary program. There, I met my mentor, Milton Arellano, who was the executive chef at First Hawaiian Bank and graciously took me under his wing. He’d invite me to do special events at the bank and at other locations. He showed me more than cooking and introduced me to the world of special events and front-of-the-house service. This became my niche and career path.
질문: 주요 업무는 무엇인가요?
A: My primary duty is to ensure that schools are implementing their meal program and are in compliance with federal, state and local child nutrition programs.
Q: 어떻게 이 역할을 맡게 되었나요?
A: I wanted to pivot back into school and education.
Q: 이 직업에서 가장 좋아하는 부분은 무엇인가요?
A: Going to the different schools and interacting with the staff and students
Q: 현직에서 가장 어려운 점은 무엇인가요?
A: One of the most challenging parts of this role is being on a neighbor island, where everything is shipped. Delays can happen and that causes a lot of things to happen on the operation side of things. I’m very fortunate that the school food services managers on Kaua‘i are experienced enough to make changes to ensure proper meals are still being provided to the students.
질문: 여러분의 역할은 학생들의 성공을 어떻게 지원하나요?
A: Ensuring students have a balanced and nutritional meal and don’t miss a meal.
Q: 이 직책을 고려하는 사람들에게 어떤 조언을 해주고 싶으신가요?
A: In this position, you need multiple things aside from a food services background. You will need a little bit of management, nutrition regulations, budgeting, being a flexible problem-solver and a team leader.
Q: Fun fact?
A: I have worked in 27 different states!
