company through his 16 years in the company first with the Wolars and then under Obem Foods, Inc. Dionis

weekend. When he’s not thinking about baking, Dionis is often traveling to exotic locations tasting foods at every
opportunity and looking for his next adventure. Dionis is certified as a Food Safety Manager.
