While in college I chose to do landscaping at a local nursery over the course of two summers. The first summer I met great people, learned the trade and by my second summer there I was the highest paid worker in a crew of 6 people. I learned to operate all machinery there from average landscaping equipment such as weed wackers and leaf blowers to the large diesel tractors and skid steer. I took great pride in my work here and worked at beautiful homes in Bucks County, Pa.

I started as a busser, however that did not last long as the owner pulled me aside from the other bussers to train me to be the sole host of the Los Sarapes Chalfont location, frequently mentioning how I do the work of two hosts at their Blue Bell location. This got to the point where I was taken on one of my days off to go to the other two locations and train the other hosts. In my time there a few things I was able to do was enhance customer satisfaction in general aspects of my job such as seating and increase the number of takeout orders per night and the efficiency at which they were completed.
