They say an image says 1,000 words, in this first image of me the photo screams tired, overworked, defeated, angry, unhealthy, deteriorating, bitter, most importantly sad......this would be the day I quit my job, I left everything behind that I put so much care, so much love, so much hard work, I left it behind because what I thought was my dream was killing me, inside and out, so I did the one thing I could. I went on my own journey of figuring out why I do what I do and why I love it, along the way I went back to the drawing board, worked on techniques, new ideas, different practices, overall made myself better
The first image was a learning experience which I am truly grateful for, i put in work at some very popular places but I never found a place I call my home, until I left the confines of jersey and found my place in NYC
On the 2nd picture I look happy, confident, excited, and I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store being apart of a bar team that wants to compete, learn, and push each other everyday to be better
Not only have I found myself in a new city, and a new home bar, I already have a cocktail on the menu dedicated to a man who changed my life about slinging drinks the late and to top it off I am a team leader this year where I’ll be with some of the best bartenders in the world helping raising money for a great cause and most importantly I’m happy
I’m thankful for every opportunity I was ever given in this industry, and genuinely love those I have met along my way
Thank you for the support
Let’s see what 2020 is all about
