Summary
I have been in the service industry for over a decade now. Started off when i was 16 bussing and bar-backing. Now I am 30 and have worked in a wide variety of different restaurants from busy beach bars to 5 star resort hotels. Recently started doing seasonal work to explore the country and just got back to Florida which is where i was born to begin pilot school and buy a house. I have a passion for travel and have been to 13 countries and counting at this point! Traveling has given me a different perspective in life and i really appreciate the things that i have more than ever. I thrive in high paced, high volume establishments and will never complain about working hard because with busy comes money! If you are looking for a young guy with a can do attitude, who loves to work hard, and doesn't complain about a full schedule. I am your guy!
