Summary

Business professional who grew up working in seafood restaurants. I have worked in various restaurants and all positions from back of house to front of house. I left the restaurant industry for sales, but now work my own hours and would like to get back in the restaurant industry. I am a highly motivated worker and will be using this added income to get a home for me and my girlfriend. I will bring a positive attitude, lots of life experience, and a fun demeanor every single day.
