Ricardo Cabrera Palafox

Vista,CA

Summary

Hi, I am a work hungry boy who will work under most conditions while staying efficient and practical. I like to think on my feet when I work so that the work flow keeps rolling. I'll be there to help anyone who needs it weather I know what to do or not, I like to try new things as well as work in different environments be it a busy front of house or a lonely back lot stocking equipment. I have strength to lift, push, walk, run, speed walk and keep going even if my feet hurt after long shifts. I hope my few experiences below change your perspective on how you view me at first glance.
