Join us as we take a journey through Celebrity Chef Adrian Perez's rise to the top! Adrian Perez was born in the small quaint town of Beeville, Tx. He spent his childhood, knee hi, watching his father, Ruben Perez, run a Tex-Mex restaurant, and mother Leticia Perez, run a women's gift shop and boutique. His father finally decided to end his 30 year long run in the restaurant industry selling the business. Never having a job outside the family businesses, he started his first outside work experience at the HEB Grocery Store Chain. Adrian attended Culinary School at Del Mar College. He soon was promoted to Manager. A call from corporate HEB and the local Corpus Christi Channel 3 news station opened the first door into an extended career in media. Live cooking demos on the 30 year long running show, Domingo Live, was his first TV appearance as a chef. Soon after, local hip hop station offered him a position as an Emcee Hosting shows at a nightclub, cutting commercials for the radio, and broadcasting live from club events. He then made the move, with HEB, to Houston, TX. In Adrian's first week in Houston, he became the official HEB TV Correspondent for Houston's live audience show, Great Day Houston with Debra Duncan on KHOU Channel 11. Other TV cooking spots came about for Channel 2 News “Cooking Time with HEB”, Good Taste TV with Emmy Award winning Tanji Patton, and News Channel CW 39. Adrian also had the pleasure of working on television with Skinny Girl Mogul Bethany Frankel and Celebrity Fit Club and weight loss expert Dr. Ian Smith. Continuing his steady career with television, a full-time position at HEB, and Complete Eats growing as a business, Adrian decided to take the plunge, and leave HEB after 11 years of service. Adrian made it to national television as a competitor on The Food Network, but soon found himself living out of his jeep and sleeping in his rented commercial kitchen common area just to make ends meet. It was during the darkest and most difficult time of his life that his determination and passion for excellent customer service earned Adrian a referral and opportunity to serve as private chef to the late President Bush Sr. and Mrs. Barbara Bush. President Bush & Mrs. Bush had not only granted him an opportunity for work, but served as a reminder of how far he had come. Over the next 2 years Adrian's presence on local news channels expanded from Houston to multiple others in San Antonio, Beaumont, El Paso, Laredo, Austin, Dallas & Corpus Christi providing culinary infotainment all over Texas & more. As a creative, Chef Adrian recently added “actor” to the list of outlets as he walked into his first and only audition, and booked his first role in a movie. Aside from a life of daily work and following numerous passions, Adrian dedicates all philanthropic time and efforts to raising up women. Starting with his mother, a breast cancer survivor and business owner herself, to his entrepreneurial great great great grandmother, he credits the female influences in his life to be the unsung heroes and true mentors that have taught him the important keys to happiness, emotional intelligence and success.

SAVE THE LAST WORD FOR ME #1: Chatting with voice actor and friend Alex Moore (10/2016) Again from our archives, we present the 3rd episode of a discussion podcast that I had high hopes for, but which only went for 9 episodes or so. But the discussions are fun and if you're interested in voice actors' lives, we delve pretty deep in these interviews. Alex Moore is a terrifically talented voice actor from Texas, whom I first met when we acted together in a production of Love's Labour's Lost at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi. Since then she has moved to the Dallas area, and has lent her voice to anime productions and commercials, and has appeared on the professional theatrical stage as well. I'm also proud to say that she's appeared in a handful of my audio dramas. I'll be posting these re-runs monthly -- they originally launched on a different platform that I never use anymore, so you probably never heard of this show. Still, I hope you'll listen and enjoy.
You've heard me say that I don’t believe we have a fundraising problem so much as a supervisory problem. The conclusion I have come to is that supervisors have to create environments where fundraising can thrive which often means knowing what to measure, when to give feedback, and when to celebrate success. The supervisor who knows how to do these three things is the boss that fundraiser's should be eager to work for. This was the conversation that I had today with Matthew who is recruiting a major gifts role at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi. During our conversation today, we turned the interview around and put Matthew in the hot seat. Before we tackled the, “So, are you really a great boss?” and “Why should a super-talented fundraiser come work for you?” sort of questions, Matthew and I compared notes on what being in the supervisory role has afforded our perspectives. What was most apparent to me is that Matthew has developed a genuine passion for fundraising, enjoys the work, and strives to create a great working environment for his team - all critically important characteristics in the search for a new boss. As always, we are grateful to our friends at CueBack for their support of The Fundraising Talent Podcast. If you would like to visit their website, see their link in the comments. If you would like to apply for the major gifts opportunity at Del Mar College, we have included that link in the comments as well.
