Walter G.

Business Owner

Walter grew up in his parent's bakery in Bavaria. He slept on cozy flour bags in the early hours of the morning while his father baked his famous breads and his mother ran the bakery. Taking after his grandfather and his father, Walter began baking at an early age. After studying baking professionally, he decided to tour the US. He bought a motorcycle and started his trip across the states. His last stop, in San Diego, was where he met his future wife and business partner, Marlene. They decided to buy Freeport Bakery in 1987 and made the move to Sacramento...never looking back.
