High energy, focused foodie, has a desire for knowledge. Still seeking the Master/Apprentice relationship I never had. But with the years of different food experience now under me, and with some truly unique ones, I can now say I have taught several younger team members (on whatever team I am on) and several personal friends; the gift of sharing knowledge is empowering, I love helping people with their daily food struggles. Teaching that person who did not know something that they can do it too, is always such a moment. the sudden look of "OH Aha!" Simply put... Good feels good! So I like to do good things for people. That's Starbucks philosophy, (a note in our handbooks) a very good one, I try my best to be a positive worker, father, husband, friend, and neighbor.
