Staff Spotlight – George Rizo

I was born in Tijuana Baja California (Mexico) when I was 8 years old I had the opportunity to go to a camp in San Jose California there I had the opportunity to know a facility of the NASA at that moment I told to myself that one day I was going to come back and this is my opportunity and at the age of 12 we moved to Oaxaca and that’s where I currently live. My family runs a restaurant that serves dinner and I make much of the food there. I’ll be on the North Star kitchen staff.
