Day Break Catering's chef, Paul Tichy, was born in the former Czechoslovakia where he was exposed to a wide variety of cuisine from an early age. He became interested in cooking while helping his mother prepare the family meals. It was her encouragement that ultimately motivated him to become a Chef.

Paul attended higher education classes in his native country, all the while dreaming of becoming an American citizen and Chef. His dream was realized in 1985 when he came to America and started working at a local restaurant as a dishwasher. He paid his dues by working in all aspects of the food service industry before being promoted to a Country Club Banquet Chef in 1987. In the years that followed Paul worked as Head Chef and finally Executive Chef for several well known Caterers and Country Clubs in the Sacramento Area.

Our chef has been certified by the American Culinary Federation, and has been the proud recipient of many awards.
