Nationally Renowned, Humble at Home
Gerald Walburg is one of Sacramento’s most talented and notable artists. The trouble is that over his long and productive career his local profile hasn’t kept up with his national one. I’m hoping to change that.
Gold-Medal Cooking
As a sports performance chef, Brett Eisen has fed plenty of athletes, including the Sacramento Kings, Oregon Ducks, Denver Broncos and 2016 U.S. women’s Olympic soccer team. But working in PyeongChang, South Korea, as a chef for the U.S. ski and snowboard team was a special thrill. “Easily, to date, the highlight of my career,” says the 28-year-old East Sac resident.
