Liza V. Huber is an accomplished author, former American television actress, and the founder and CEO of Sage Spoonfuls, a company dedicated to healthy, homemade baby food solutions.

Personal Life

Liza Huber was born on February 22, 1975, in the United States. She is the daughter of Helmut Huber, a businessman, and Susan Lucci, a renowned American actress best known for her role in All My Children. Susan Lucci has an estimated net worth of $45 million.

During her teenage years, Huber was a cheerleader. She married Alexander Hesterberg on March 13, 2004. Together, they have four children: Brendan, Royce, Mason, and Hayden. In 2010, their son Brendan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, a life-changing moment that influenced Liza’s future career decisions. She enjoys outdoor activities such as skiing and golfing.

Education

Liza Huber is Catholic and began her education at St. Joseph’s School in New York. She graduated from Garden City High School and is fluent in both Italian and German. She pursued higher education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she earned a degree in Communications with a focus on Film Production. In addition to her formal education, she studied acting at the Lynette Actor's Studio and the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.

Television Career

Huber made her television debut in the 1995 film Ebbie. Her breakthrough role came in 1999 when she was cast as Gwen Hotchkiss on the NBC soap opera Passions. After a brief departure in 2000, she returned to the show in 2002, continuing until 2008.

Beyond television, she appeared on stage in the play Four Dogs and a Bone at the Harold Clurman Theater in New York. She also participated in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2002. During this time, she was represented by the Ford Modeling Agency and was named Miss Golden Globe in 2000, a title often bestowed upon children of celebrities.

In May 2015, Huber received the “Humanitarian Award” from Little Flower Children and Family Services for her philanthropic work. In 2008, during her pregnancy with her second child, Brendan, she decided to step away from her acting career. His premature birth and six-week stay in the NICU shifted her professional path toward child wellness and entrepreneurship.

Sage Spoonfuls

In 2011, Liza Huber founded Sage Spoonfuls, a company specializing in high-quality baby food products created to promote healthy eating from infancy. The brand offers an array of items including food storage jars, blenders, cookbooks, and accessories aimed at encouraging nutritious homemade meals for children.

Although "Marshmallow Gingerbread Man Pops" is one of the fun recipes shared with audiences, the core mission of Sage Spoonfuls is rooted in offering fresh, wholesome options for babies and young children. The company has garnered national recognition and its products are sold across major retail outlets.

Through both her business and public speaking engagements, Huber advocates for a healthier and more environmentally responsible approach to child nutrition. In an interview with Big City Moms, she highlighted five key benefits of homemade baby food: it's healthier, cost-effective, adventurous, energizing, and a sustainable, “green” option for families.

She remains active on social media, with her personal Twitter account (@Liza_Huber) and her business presence attracting widespread engagement. Sage Spoonfuls continues to grow in influence, connecting with thousands of families nationwide.
