Wendel became acquainted with George W. Bush while serving as a waiter-caterer at the Texas Governor's Mansion in 1995. After Bush was elected president in 2000, Wendel continued to prepare meals for the first family during their trips to Camp David and visits home to Texas. Wendel frequently traveled aboard Air Force One when returning to Washington, D.C. from the Prairie Chapel Ranch, the first family's residence near Crawford, Texas.
