OBJECTIVE I am a result oriented food service professional with administrative, operations, and management experience in medium sized facilities. I am experienced in supervision, employee development, inventory control, purchasing, public relations and strategic planning. I have excellent inter-personal skills, and a team player; have the ability to work on all levels of an organization, trouble shooting and problem solving abilities. My end goal is to own and run my own place and change the way food is viewed and enjoyed. Looking to relocate in or out of Texas, anyone need an executive chef or sous chef, 21 overall year's in the industry. Not a thing I can't handle, from dish to executive duties. Menu design, pricing, training, inventory, setup and execution are my strongest features. Loyalty and hard work aren't just words to me. Chef Jeff Countryman
