Summary

I am working the high-volume Jersey Shore beach bars for the summer while trying to lock

down something more permanent for the fall of 2012 So if anyone needs a bartender in

NY/NJ let me know please I have NYC experience if its an issue. Truth be told I

created the foundation of my cocktail wisdom in my home state of New Jersey. I've worked

in some really busy places and ran some very fine, noteworthy cocktail programs. I'd be a

great addition and creative contributor to any team. I really love to make drinks.
