    I have clients from Los Angels to San Franciso, New York to Atlanta.

    Recently (February 2007) I took a year off from my business to start my own private foundation.

    I still cater large events to generate money for my foundation, but for the most part my days are now filled with HELPING people who are homeless.

    Next Month my catering business will launch a "lunch program" that will deliver high quality meals to locals here Santa Monica/Venice area that will not only gereate funds for the foundation, but will also teach and employ homeless people
