I have been working in food service for seven years now, from small local kitchens to fine dining restaurants, as well as a two year career as a butcher. I was raised on a small farm in Boulder, Colorado and was taught from a very young age to respect and value local food and business.
Processed whole animal carcasses into primals and sub-primals, stuffed sausage, cured bacon and deli meat, and handled sales and customer service on the counter. I was responsible for placing supply orders for the shop and organizing the weekly schedule. I handled big-picture changes, forward thinking projects, and helped to push the shop in a direction that increased sales and community engagement.
