Hi, I’m
Todd Martin
Chattanooga,TN
Summary
With a journey in recovery that began four years ago, I transitioned into the restaurant industry and achieved success, starting as a server and progressing to a salary manager. However, the increasing cost of living has led me to seek opportunities outside my original field of study. I am now excited to join a reputable company where I can embark on a new journey and further my professional growth.
