I have over 25 years of food service experience in several different fields, including;
technical military food service training. I have worked and acquired many talents in both,
"front and back of the house". My experiences make me fully capable and qualified to be
productive and an asset to any establishment. I am very conscious at all times of: guest
expectations, food quality, food consistency, food and labor cost. I also practice proper food
handling, sanitation procedures, good personal hygiene and arrive to work in a timely
matter, always with a professional appearance and a positive attitude.
