Thomas Kohnen enjoyed 22 years of pleasant family life in his home town of Bottrop, West Germany.
He grew up like most kids in West Germany. For him and every other boy on the block, his dream was to become a soccer player until his coach determined Thomas had to have two left feet. He had normal grades and finished high school at age 15 in May of 1977. (Fifteen is the standard age for completing school in Germany.)
In August of the same year, he took an apprenticeship as a Konditor (Confectionist) at the Franz Bergendahl Bacherrei. It was the biggest bakery in town and very well known for its disciplined training procedures. He worked as an apprentice for three years while also attending trade school. He became a tested and proven journeyman, learning his trade from A to Z.
At age 19 he joined the German Navy for 15 months (mandatory military service is required of all young men in Germany). He left as Lance Corporal. Continuing to work for Franz Bergendahl, he was offered the opportunity to go on a training program in the United States. At age 22 he left his hometown to head for the unknown.
Upon his arrival here he found friendly people and a land of sunshine. “Sunshine is a rarity where I come from,” he says.
Another delightful discovery was made on his first visit to an American bakery – they were “donuts”, something he had never seen before.
He went on to begin training in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties and during that time met Colleen, a native California girl who became his wife in October of 1988.
Thomas and Colleen took their first step into the business world in February 1989 when the young, energetic couple took over the operation of the landmark Bill Baker bakery in Ojai, California.
After operating Bill Baker successfully for nearly 15 years, they were forced to vacate their historic bakery when the building was sold. An Ojai neighbor’s suggestion lured them to Tehachapi, CA, where the Kohnen's discovered better housing prices, a friendly community of about 11,000 just right for raising their two children, and an old potato packinghouse and antique shed in need of renovation.
In 2004, they opened a new contemporary German bakery designed with Old World charm – Kohnen’s Country Bakery.
