Joe Braun

With over 15 years of experience working with seniors, Chef Joe brings both heart and flavor to every meal. A graduate of Anoka Technical School with a degree in Culinary Arts, Joe has honed his craft at other senior living communities and fine establishments including Midland Hills, North Oaks, and Edinburgh golf courses. He also spent seven years managing two catering companies, where he served everything from elegant banquets to lively pig roasts.



Outside of the kitchen, Joe enjoys smoking BBQ, fishing, golfing, attending live music events, and making his signature hot salsa using ingredients from his own garden. His passion for food and people is evident in every dish he prepares, and we’re proud to have him on the Guardian Angels team.
