About

I have been in the restaurant/ bar industry for a total of 30 years. With 12 years of bartending in Daytona Beach, FL with very high volume service.. The skills I have learned and utilized during this time has been a valuable asset.

Working in every position from dishwasher to manager has given me more of an ability to recognize and resolve most issues that go with the positions. Working as a commercial diver in the Gulf of Mexico for 2 years showed me attention to details needed to ensure a safe working environment.
