Summary

I consider myself a very dedicated and hardworking individual. I have really found a calling to the restaurant industry over the past twelve years. I have learned about the value of teamwork and good communication skills in this industry. I have always had a very lead-by-example way of approaching my staff and any tasks at hand. That way when I need to accomplish a goal, the people I involve feel like they are part of a team in helping me accomplish that goal. I believe a highly motivated and informed workforce will always be the key in building good customer relationships and keep people excited for their next visit.
