Started working legally at 14, jumped around small odd jobs. The pandemic put me in my place as a young man and showed me how true work ethic and dedication is needed. Landscaping, oyster farming, then high school football injury prevented me from continuing a career with physical labor. Decided to fall back and pursue one of my favorite talents in the work place cooking. Cooking was the only job could work with a broken hand post surgery. Started in a brunch diner, decided I didn’t like my secondary position. Desperate for a more important role. was eventually offered a job as the head cook, 6 days a week at a small seafood restaurant on the water.
Worked year round summer-winter in all weather conditions took risks for the oysters and learned and demonstrated true team work
