Michael Gropper
Owner
I am originally from Brooklyn, NY. After many years of travel, growth and learning, I settled in Denver, CO where I have lived for the past 20 years. Culinary Arts has always been a passion of mine, and I have always found myself drawn to cooking for others, loved how it brought people and community together. Though I did spend time a short time in culinary school, I found my skills develop working in restaurants, my travel’s, volunteering or in the US Army as a food service specialist. It was in the US Army that I truly had grown as a chef/cook. I participated and in numerous Culinary Arts competitions both for my DEFAC and for Garrison with the 101st Airborne (proud Veteran of the 2/327Infantry, Bastogne Bulldogs and Honor and Country… “No Slack”) where we won many accolades. While participating at a Culinary airy Arts competition at Ft. Lee Virginia, home of the Quarter Master Corps, I came 3rd place as Junior Chef of the Year against all Army cooks. This led to being stationed at SHAPE (Supreme Allied Powers Europe) where I cooked for both garrison and the SACEUR (Supreme Allied Commander Europe), his staff and other NATO generals. What a great honor to serve him and to be stationed in Europe and explore amazing cuisines and cultures. After 8 years, I was discharged with the rank of Sergeant, I took a break from cooking, and started a career as a Special Education teacher. Another great opportunity to be in service, support the community and teach; another passion of mine. for 15 years in an elementary school setting using my skills speaking Spanish to support my students, and their families. In 2019, Full Battle Rattle Deli, and over the past 2 years I have created a solid foundation to build on as I move forward. This foundation has included building both a strong following and awareness in both the Veteran and non-Veteran communities, establishing our brand and reputation, and developing a strong understanding of the day-to-day operations for both an LLC and restaurant. In addition to the above, I have been able to continue to develop the resilience, determination and adaptability to move forward, overcome obstacles, and promote success regardless of situations that have occurred and could possibly occur as we continue to grow serving our community.
