Sergio Arista
Salt Lake City
Summary
After Culinary School and achieving my BA in Hospitality I worked in catering, serving and bartending for about 3 years. During the off seasons I would sell cars for my family business. I have a firm understanding with the processes of service. I have also served at Corporate restaurants, The Cheese Cake Factory, Mastros City Hall and have cocktail served at night clubs as well as bartending. Over the past 5 years I have been aiding my mother who is a stage 5 progressive MS at her home, her needs have shifted past my skill level and now she is in a long term assisted living facility. I currently purchase Pre-owned vehicles for my families auto dealership, I enjoy service and would like to continue.
