I'm from Brooklyn, born and raised. It's been said I've got swag. I love the service industry: the pace, the people, and above all, the energy. I'm a comedy writer on the side, and I like being able to bring my personality to the job while maintaining a highly professional attitude. I'm prefer working at places with a fast-pace where I can learn and push myself beyond the skills I've gained in my 6 years in the field.

Also head of the bottle service team. Worked to create cohesive, profitable bottle packages with the sales team. Learned the ins and outs of managing, running, and selling to a high-volume club floor and private parties. Bartending involved speed, efficiency, and friendliness for long hours.

Bartender. Worked up to 14-hours shifts a few days a week, during some of the busiest days, including brunch. Varied between high-volume and sparse crowds, had to learn the best way to provide service accordingly- speed versus conversation and entertainment.
