Get To Know Michael Natale
My favorite thing about being a part of the Edlong Team is…
Is the culture that exists at Edlong is very inviting and everyone on the team has each others back, it is a culture that wakes up every day wanting to do better!
The one thing that almost nobody knows about me is…
In highschool I took Choir to get out of having to take Spanish class and I ended up loving Choir but ultimately really needing Spanish later in life
When I am at work…
I love the industry and the customers we work with, there is something very artistic about being able to create delicious food and I love thinking we are feeding the world!
