Ross Clark
Mesquite
Summary
My name is Ross Clark and a father of 2. I am always trying to learn and grow within, not only my career but, within myself. I am always striving to be better and learn as much as I can throughout my life. I am trying to be the best man and father I can be. I am a honest and hard working man who loves to be challenged. If I see an opportunity to try something new, I jump on it. I see this world as nothing but opportunity to grow. If there is knowledge to be gained I am working tooth and nail to gain that knowledge.
If given the opportunity, I will not disappoint.

Accomplishments
Within Each job I have worked, I have started from the bottom of the totem pole and worked my way up to management in a very short amount of time.
For example; in the current company I worked for, I started as a Pantry Cook (an entry level position). I told myself from the day I started that I would be a sous chef within the 1st year. I became a sous chef within 8 months. I then told myself I would be a room chef, within a year of that point and I did.
If I tell myself I am going to do something, I do it. I set a goal and I do whatever it takes to reach that goal.
