Summary

I am an experienced bartender/mixologist who has worked in a high volume environment for 7 years behind the bar and 12 years total bartending/serving. I have extensive cocktail, beer and wine knowledge as well as skills in maintaining a clean well stocked bar. Guest experience and rapport is one of my top priorities and I pride myself on making and retaining regulars. Keeping accurate inventory, managing employees schedules and training/hiring as well as stocking and ordering are also included in my skill set.
