Daniel humm wife geneen wright

Daniel Humm was born in 1976 in Strengelbach, a small village in the canton of Argovia, Switzerland. From a young age, he enjoyed accompanying his mother to the market to select fresh, local ingredients. Another passion of his was mountain biking, which he started at the age of ten, eventually becoming a part of the Swiss Junior National Team. At fourteen, he left school to work in the kitchen, despite his architect father's opposition, who had envisioned a different future for him. "And it was the best decision I ever made. My father was against it, but I persisted. I learned much more outside of school than inside." Nevertheless, he remained an admirer of beauty and an art collector.

His debut was at "Baur au Lac" on Lake Zurich. Within a year, his choice of career became permanent: at just fifteen years old, amidst conflict with his father, Humm informed his parents that he would not return home and packed his bags to work as a commis at "Claridge's" in London. At eighteen, he became a father to his first daughter, Justine, but the mother left, severing all ties.
