MEMBER profile a variety of non-commercial food service settings such as senior living communities and hospitals, managing kitchens, performing food safety audits, assisting dieticians with clinical dietary assessments and needs, and managing special diets. In 2000, he earned two certifications for managing food service operations and ensuring food safety in these patient-based settings: the Association of Foodservice and Nutritional Professionals' Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) and Certified Food Protection Professional (CFPP) certifications. Love of food, country and adventure "The Marines gave me the opportunity to travel to exotic places such as the Virgin Islands, Antigua and Cuba, and my love for adventure began early in my life," he said. In his free time he enjoys high-energy sports such as skydiving, snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding, and early in his life he even competed in the 19871988 Eastern skateboarding championships. Mr. Bunn inherited both his love of food and country from his family, specifically his parents, who were also Marines. He noted proudly his birthplace is Parris Island, S.C., "home of the US Marine Corps' East Coast boot camp, where Marines are born." His earliest food memory was eating blue crabs at his grandmother's house in Baltimore, and today he's passing on his love for cooking to his child. "My 14-year-old daughter is also a pretty mean cook, but she wants to be an architect," he said. His enthusiasm for work comes from oldfashioned values. "My inspiration is from the 'terrible' notion that being a cook or chef is not a great choice for a career," he said. "When I got out of the military, people would ask me what I did there and when I told them I was a cook, some would say 'wow' and others would ask why I would ever want to be a cook." His discipline and determination has paid off. He said, "I got to where I am today by hard work, dedication, the ability to adapt to change and not wanting to settle." * Introducing the Mediterranean Collection from Fuchs To request free samples of Fuchs' new Mediterranean Collection, visit fuchsna.com/med.
