Summary
With years of experience as a stay-at-home dad and co-founding a 501(c) wildlife rehab organization alongside my wife, I am now eager to reenter the restaurant industry. Although I am only looking to start out as a server, I possess the knowledge and skills needed to adapt to practically any position in the industry and also look forward to learning new skills along the way. I also bring the possibility of exposure and increased sales having several thousand people who we are interacting with in person and threw social media. We are well known throughout the community and have even had a few spots on the local news.
