Experienced bartender with excellent communication skills. Extensive experience behind the bar working in a variety of establishments from gaming, hotel, dive bars, Life is Beautiful and Route 91. My background has given me the opportunity to establish and maintain relationships in many diverse team settings. I feel this industry is always evolving and I am able to keep up with the change. I absolutely love bartending and meeting new people on either side of the bar. Bartending is not a job for me but rather a career. I am seeking a place where I can plant my feet and grow with the organization.
