Summary
I have over 20 years of Professional Foodservice experience prior to the COVID shut down. I have been Executive Chef at 2 Golf Clubs, Kitchen Manager for Corporate franchises, as well as deli, pizza, and smaller fine dining restaurants. My warehouse and dock experience has been an exciting change and ads to my understanding of the supply chain and how it all works together.
