“I came here from Miami. I’m a Florida boy, born in New York, lived all over Florida. I’ve been in hospitality for almost 20 years now. Started working at Subway as a kid, worked in several kitchens and as a waiter, and eventually made my way to bartending. I worked in corporate America for many years, too, but now I no longer have to fit myself as a square peg in a round hole, and that makes me happy. Being able to express myself.
