Summary

I grew up in a family of highly motivated entrepreneurs. My family has been in the restaurant/bar industry my entire life, because of that I believe I can communicate, and relate to any person I meet in any situation.. I went to college right out of high school and was within a year of finishing a degree in business and communication when we decided to open Lonshots bar and grill in New Carlisle IN. Opening the restaurant has been the best educational experience of my life! And I continue to learn from it everyday
