Work History
05/2007 to 06/2009
Server City Grille – Livingston, Tx
10/2010 to 05/2011
Server Olive Garden – 3801 S Medford Dr, Lufkin, TX 75901
05/2011 to 08/2011
server/ bartender Olive Garden – 9080 Southwest Fwy, Houston, TX 77074
08/2011 to 10/2012
Head Bartender Angus Grill – 6106 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77057
 While I was employed by Olive Garden one of our bartenders was hired by Angus Grille as their General Manager, and on his first day he asked if I would be interested in being their head bartender. He was able to offer me a significant hourly rate on top of my tips, and it was my first experience building my own cocktail list and contributing to the curation of the wine list.
10/2012 to 01/2014
Server The Melting Pot – 6100 Westheimer Rd #146, Houston, TX 77057
 My experience at The Melting Pot was far different than that of any of my former employers, and was crucial to my conditioning as a server.I was literally cooking for every table I had as well as teaching my guests how to cook their entrees for themselves, consolidation and time management was imperative. While being table side with my guests, much more than I had been in any other position I had held in the industry, I was able to hone my candor and conversational skills while building cheeses and chocolates for my guests. 
03/2014 to 06/2017
Server/Trainer Max's Wine Dive – 4720 Washington Ave B, Houston, TX 77007
 In my first year at Max's went through their "Wine University", which is basically the equivalent of a level 1 and 2 sommelier course, culminating in a written test and blind tasting that I was able to breeze through and thoroughly enjoyed. Shortly after completing Wine-U I was nominated to be a corporate trainer and help train the staff while opening a new location in Denver. I spent all of April, 2015 helping design the layout of the store, defining our standards of service, and training my assigned group of 5 employees. I had trained new hires for previous employers before, but never to this capacity, and it was by far and away one of the most gratifying experiences of not only my professional life, but my personal life as well. I came back to my home store and took on a handful of responsibilities that fall outside of my position as a server, including but not limited to: teaching an 8 hour wine intensive for all Houston area new hires, setting new standards of service in my home store, helping curate the wine list by communicating with management on whats selling and what guests are regularly requesting, and keeping the appearance and the overall atmosphere of Max's up to higher standards than those set by our in and out of house management.
06/2017 to 11/2017
Assistant General Manager Peska – Houston , Texas
 After being at Max's for 4 years, my general manager took a job with Peska to help guide their business back on track. As soon as he told me he was taking the job, in the same breath he asked me to come with him. I was excited to see the business from the administrative side, and was promised the world by ownership in the interview process. We knew coming in that it wouldn't be easy, but we didn't truly understand the financial predicament the business was in until we began receiving phone calls from purveyors about  accounts payable that had gone unresolved for nearly a year. I genuinely enjoyed getting to be hands on with staff training, and getting to work with reps on bringing new products in to build a more profitable menu, but when the business has been bleeding $90k a month for a solid fiscal year, turning the business around was a tall order. We delivered Peska's first profitable month in a year and a half in August, but after Harvey all of our buzz and momentum seemed to disappear. After having intimate conversations with the ownership I realized the business wouldn't survive through December and decided to go back to Max's. 

While I was there I was able to bring LBW cost from 38% down to 22%, and bring our avg. labor cost from 27% down to 19%. 
11/2017 to Current
Server/Bartender/Trainer Max's Wine Dive – Houston , Tx
 When I realized that Peska wasn't going to workout I knew I still had a home at Max's Wine Dive. After having been an integral part of their team for years I knew that they would be happy to have me return. In the three weeks I've been back I have trained 2 new hires at my location, and taught 4 wine classes off site for all Houston based new hires.
