About Me

Im an extremely easy going person, nothing really bothers me...except people who have no sense of humor! I grew up in Santa Maria, CA. I went to ....or i should say "tried to" go to college in Chico, CA but I found my true calling, Restaurant, Restaurant, Restaurant...im a rare person in this industry because of the fact that I fucking love my job...everything about it! I was in Portland Oregon for a year getting my degree in Hospitality & Restaurant Management at Western Culinary Institute Le Cordon Bleu..long title geez...Then I moved down to San Diego to manage the Marriott hotel restaurant in Mission Valley and partying on my days off. But what im really working on is opening my own restaurant. After being there for 9 months I got bored and decided its time to be back near my good friends. So now I live in San Francisco and am working for the 3rd largest Marriott in the world as the Beverage Control Manager.
