Episode 98: From Professional Football Player to Private Chef w/ Tobias Dorzon

from Keep Bouncing Forward: Lessons from Sports, Business and Life

Chef Tobias Dorzon, 32, is a celebrity chef and founder of Victory Private Chef Co., a catering and specialized meal plan business based in the Nation's Capital. Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Chef Tobias grew up watching his Liberian father and chef in the kitchen, but opted to pursue football and attended Jackson State University on a full athletic scholarship.     After 3 years in the NFL and CFL, and studying at the Art Institute of Washington and abroad in Brazil, Chef Tobias began apprenticing at local restaurants. His career trajectory shifted, however, when retired Pro Bowler and Washington Redskin Santana Moss saw his Instagram photos and invited him to feed his family and friends.    Chef Tobias has been unofficially named the "chef of DC athletes" and with 30K Instagram followers (which includes Hollywood elite, pro athletes, etc.) has quickly become a celebrity in his own right.    Chef's hectic schedule includes preparing meals for his local athlete clients during part of the week and traveling to out of state clients on the weekends. When he isn't cooking, he's preparing and serving his food to the homeless, speaking to youth groups and, most importantly, spending time with his two beautiful daughters.      Current Client List (partial) Kevin Hart DeSean Jackson (Washington Redskins) DeAngelo Hall  (Washington Redskins) Chris Baker  (Washington Redskins) Jordan Reed  (Washington Redskins) Navorro Bowan (San Francisco 49ers) Jameer Nelson (Denver Nuggets)   Connect with Chef Tobias: Youtube- Tobias Dorzon  IG, Snapchat and Twitter @KingChefTD   Connect with Angie: Facebook Angie R Lewis Twitter & IG @Angie_R_Lewis
