Summary
A devoted man of God driven by purpose, vision, and service. With over 10 years of experience at Spoonys, my family's restaurant, I’ve developed strong leadership and business management skills, with plans to franchise the brand in the future. As a campus tour guide at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, I thrive on connecting with people, creating positive experiences, and fostering brotherhood through genuine interaction. Additionally, with two years of lifeguard experience, I’ve demonstrated dedication, focus, and accountability in ensuring the safety and well-being of others. My core values of leadership, dedication, purpose, vision, brotherhood, and service guide everything I do.
