Cooking with Cobra

Hi, my name is Pete “Cobra” Dern. I got involved with the foundation in 2016 following my burn injury. The burn center and staff at CRMC were amazing with care and support and spoke highly of AARBF. After all I went through, I felt I wanted to pay it forward and help other burn survivors.

I created this video because during Covid-19, in-person events through the foundation were cancelled and I thought this was a fun online activity that everyone could do.

I enjoy cooking and cooked for years in the firehouse. This video demonstrates a simple recipe that all the Firefighters loved. I also wanted to show other burn survivors how to not let physical disabilities limit what they might want to do.

Fun fact about my nickname – it didn’t come from a snake, but from a helicopter! I was a Chief Warrant officer in the US Army and flew Cobra helicopters.
