Right now, I am training a service dog for my daughter. He's a four month old puppy. My daughter has a condition called complex regional pain syndrome. I've trained dogs in the past but not as a service dog. There's a lot of learning on my end going into it and he's super smart and bringing a lot of joy to our family.

I like to coach my son's baseball team. I'm assistant coach. We're practicing on the same field where I used to play which is crazy to think about. The thing I miss most about baseball, is not playing the game, it's the camaraderie. It's hard to explain to a seven-year-old, but I just want him to have fun and make those friendships too.

There are so many ingredients to choose from. My dream is a restaurant in the middle of the farm where you actually pick your meal and cook it. We have chickens now. That's a big project that my brother has undertaken and the organic eggs are phenomenal. There's a bit of a controversy in my family - do we eat the chickens? I'm currently working on a turmeric hummus and I think green jackfruit is next. Green jackfruit can resemble the texture of meat when cooked and seasoned properly but it's hard to process because of all the sap.

I like to barbecue and a lot of good friends have taught me their secrets. I may get into a lot of trouble for sharing this but Ryan Rothenberg and Adam Hellman taught me about cooking ribs. The trick is to slow cook them in the oven before you do anything else. Cook them at 200 degrees or less for many hours – maybe even overnight. I can’t share exactly what their secret rub is, but it may or may not include sugar. ;)

I learned sushi through my dad. When we first came to the states, my dad would do kosher sushi catering on the weekend. Aside from his 40-hour job, he was always looking for opportunities to make extra income. My dad taught us to make our own money and not necessarily depend on him to provide. He would say, 'you work a full day' and then he would give you 150 bucks. And then say - 'those shoes that you've been asking me about, if they're $200, you only need to work two days and you'll have those shoes.' My dad taught himself how to make sushi. When he came to the states, he got a job as a busser in a restaurant that's still standing today, called Matsuri. It's one of the OG spots in Miami.
