2. What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?

I always loved this business! I am a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America. I did the Chef thing for about 6-7 years and then I wanted to be on this side. I feel that I can relate to my customers having been on the other side and knowing both front and back of the house.

I like to spend time with my family on weekends and am always involved with their sports and activities.

 

4. What is the best piece of advice someone has given you?

The best advice I ever received was from my District Manager when I first started. He said to always be there for your customers and always handle their issues as soon as you can.

 

5. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

One thing that I can always eat is pizza. I love pizza Fridays!
