Summary
I have been in the restaurant business for twenty-two years. I have worked pretty much every station on a typical kitchen line from sauté, grill, expo, salad, and fry. I have been an assistant kitchen manager at two separate restaurants as well as a lead cook at USM in Gorham in my career. I am a hard working professional looking for an opportunity with like minded people. Always looking to go above and beyond.
