In addition, Duda makes up half of the Asylum Coffeetorium team that currently operates out of the Worcester Regional Food Hub to bring popovers to the masses.

What is your history with the city of Worcester? 
I’m a transplant. I grew up in Connecticut. I came to Massachusetts when I was working for a civil engineering firm in Framingham. Around that time, I met my wife and we were living in Marlborough, looking to purchase a house. We had only so much money and we looked around and we just kept coming back to Worcester. We could just get so much more house for our money in Worcester than we did in any of the surrounding towns. We ended up in Vernon Hill. We bought the house four years ago and we’ve just been slowly digging in ever since. I have not found something I hate about Worcester yet. I love this city. Getting involved in a community like Technocopia really just jump started everything. It has provided me with so many opportunities as a creator and as an entrepreneur. I am curious about your career trajectory.
