Summary
I am a culinary student at Kalamazoo valley community college. I am working towards my chef's certificate. I have been at Red Robin for 3 years. I enjoy the comfortability that comes with a job that you have done for a long time and know all the ins and outs of your position as well as accommodating ones. I graduated with a high school diploma. In school I ran cross country and track as well as wrestling. I was an orchestra for 6 years playing the violin. I was also a boy scout for many years. I pursued a missions trip to Thailand.
