  • Experience

    • Bridge Tender Restaurant

      May 1994 - Aug 2006
      Restaurant Service

      My first job was washing dishes at our local Cafe in Normandy Beach, NJ, where I eventually started bussing tables and then became a server. A few year later, I was "recruited" to another local establishment where I waited breakfast tables and sometimes scooped ice cream. Through college, I worked as a senior server for a fine dining restaurant in Wrightsville Beach, NC. These experiences taught the invaluable lessons of hard work, customer service, and patience.
