David Compton JR

I've been through a lot of health issues. Im ready to get back to work. I don't know if I could handle Bourbon Street again. But I know I'm ready to get back to work staying in and not working is unhealthy. I worked on Bourbon Street for many years but I also have a degree in Mixology I went to bartending school and graduated from that with 100% on the final exam at that time I had learned how to make 400 and some more drinks within a few minutes time. That was the test anyway and I learned to free pour the drinks..
