Employee Spotlight-Dion Hughs

Dion is a chef at The Pointe and has been with us for 4 years. Like any true chef, Dion doesn't believe that preparing the food is where his responsibility ends.

"It is important that they are not only getting high quality, but that they are also getting the items they enjoy eating."
