Summary

Right when I was able to work I started out at Rainbow Grill in Grandville as a disher. Eventually the lead cook noticed me and recomended that I start working in the kitchen instead. I worked my way up from deep frying to burgers and eventually to stocking and running the kitchen. Unfortunately the Grandville location went to breakfast only while I worked nights, putting me out of a job, so I then moved to the Hudsonville location which was renamed as Arrows Resturaunt. I am now at Calvin University studying Mechanical Engineering while working on the side during breaks.
