Just a little More...

  • After taking a break from the Northern Michigan Winters for a couple of years in my native home state of Maryland. I decided to venture back in February 2024, to be close with my family here in Traverse City. I had been working as a server in a busy restaurant in Columbia, MD. So the Qdoba position was an easy job to hit the ground running as a single guy.
  • Over the last year I've been blessed. Now I have a family, a new home I'm ready to fill my life with a meaningful career, fulfillment and a good challenge.
