Summary

I've been a bartender for nearly 30 years. I am passionate, and driven to promote whatever bar I stand behind. I've established a solid customer base over my 20+ years in the South End. Many of which will likely become new regulars wherever I land. I am quick to learn new processes, and am eager to do so.
