Milestones

My road in life has taken me all over.
Had passion for hospitality, but felt there were no opportunities.
Majored in Diesel Technology at a local community college, got an Associate in Science Degree.
After college, got a job as a Diesel Mechanic. Made lots of money, but started to become unhappy.
Unhappy with my career after a few years, I started working weekends serving and bartending.
Realised my passion was working in the hospitality industry. Resigned as a Diesel Mechanic.
I went back to College. After a few years, I graduated with a Bachelors in Hospitality Management.
Now I manage several sites as a Facilities Manager for ARAMARK - a leader in Hospitality Management.
