New chef-instructor at Nashoba Tech knows his way around a kitchen
Dan Phelps
When Paul Wilson owned a restaurant, he often employed high-school students in the kitchen and as waitstaff. So when he decided to spend the twilight of his culinary career as a teacher, he knew what he was getting into.
Of course, he didn’t count on changing careers in the middle of a global pandemic.
Wilson, 56, joined the team at Nashoba Valley Technical High School full time in August after filling in last spring for former Chef-Instructor Fran Zentgraf while he recovered from surgery. When Zentgraf retired in June, Wilson got his opportunity.
