Digging Deeper:
“What’s it like, living in Windsor Bay? Did you ever picture yourself settling down here or did you always know this would be your home?” "Well I came here when I was twelve and I didn't like it at first. I was used to being in Seattle and I loved it there. However, the home life wasn't that good. A lot of things went down that I didn't realize weren't normal. My parents had lost all contact with their family and wanted nothing to do with them so I had no other family to go to so I was put in the system and then my mom's found me. As much as I miss Seattle, I love Windsor Bay just as much and I can see myself spending the rest of my life here unless something comes up that provides me the opportunity to move away."
“If you could recommend one hidden gem around town everyone should try, what is it? What makes it so special?” "Sunrise Diner, absolutely! I love that place. They are the epitome of an amazing diner experience. Their breakfast is the best in the world honestly but even their sandwiches and french fries are to due for! If you don't go there and we become friends then I am making sure to bring you there. Everybody should experience this at least one time."
“If you could have any three guests come to dinner, dead or alive, who would they be and why?” "This is a really hard question. There's so many people I look up to whether it be in the culinary world or the music world because music is what got me through some of my hardest days. But if I had to pick three people then I'm going to have to go with Gordon Ramsay, Stevie Wonder, and Steven Hawking."
“Would you say you’re easy to get along/work with? Why or why not?” "I certainly like to think that I am easy to get along and work with. I know that I can be a bit difficult when it comes to my OCD nature, but if you're willing to overlook that then I don't think there's going to be any issues at all. Otherwise, I'm very easy to work with I like to encourage people to do their best and create the happiness that they truly deserve."
Full Biography:
August was born in Seattle, Washington to Damien & Angela Ramirez. He thought they were loving parents and while yes, they did love their child, August wasn't aware that some of things they were doing were considered neglect. His parents told him to never talk about some things outside of the home and he trusted them and he never did speak about it. However though, he had been talking to his best friend in school and she went home and told their parents about it and that ended up with child protective services being called on the Ramirez's.
Before he knew it, August was being ripped out of his home at the age of ten years old and he was placed in the foster care system. He thought that they were all the enemies for ripping him away from his family. August would act up in the homes so that nobody would adopt him. However though, one day Catalina and Elena came to visit him one day and they could see what was going through his mind and they decided to take a chance on him and they invited August into their home.
It definitely took a lot of patience out of his two moms but they were able to change his mind about being adopted and he became happy with his situation that was looking like it was permanent. He was the second child that was adopted by Catalina and Elena and he was welcomed with open arms by all family members. August didn't know what he wanted to do with his life, but then Elena got him into the kitchen and he was cooking along side her for all occasions. He loved this and it was a way for him to express himself in a healthy way.
August went off to college for culinary and impressed his teachers from an early start. He never boasted about himself but he did take pride in what he knew coming in the door and he thought about everything that both of his moms had taught him, but especially Elena. Throughout college, August came back home to Windsor Bay to complete internships with Genesis Steakhouse, so when he graduated he was instantly offered a position. Through hard work and dedication, August worked his way up to sous chef and he's loving what is going on inb his life now. He needs to get out there more and have a life but cooking and work is his passion. He does however though, always have time for his family.
