Their legacy lives on today, operating several restaurants, fish markets, and boats. Tene is the youngest of five brothers, thus earning him the nickname "Tene." He was fascinated by seafood from a young age and learned as much as he could from his brothers and the family restaurant, the iconic "Old Fisherman's Grotto" and his father, legendary chef/restaurateur, Sabu Shake. At age eleven, Tene continued his training, working as a cook at the Cove Restaurant for the Crivello Family. As a teenager, Tene managed the family fish market business and delivered seafood to the local restaurants. Tene, graduated from Bethany University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1988.

In 2009 Tene had the honor of spending time at the White house with chef Sam Kass and doing a little harvesting in the White House Organic Garden. Charities Tene follows in the tradition of giving back instilled in him as a young man by his Mom & Dad that simply taught him "you receive in order to give". Tene is proud to support over 300 charities and organizations including: Salvation Army, Monterey county school districts, Meals on wheels, Rancho Cielo, Boys & girls club Monterey, SPCA, Cooking for solutions, Mission Acts, Dorothy's Kitchen, CASA Monterey, and feeding the homeless.
