About me

I am very productive, efficient and dependable worker/manager. Need something or anything done I can do it, I perform very exceedingly. Prepping food is what I love to do, and since our store is very busy and hectic, you're working faster, the adrenaline, the rush, the love to cook makes you not want to leave your shift just yet. I am very determined in the cooking industry, and I know I can be a determined young man in any other fields that I look forward to be in.
