  • Description

    Hello, my name is John. I'm a California native. I have lived and worked in Boston, Chicago, New York City, Germany and Korea and have traveled to 20+ countries throughout Asia, Europe and South America. I enjoy cycling, hiking and swimming. I am interested in the study of Spanish, trying new things and learning alI I can. Especially, in the areas of food production, wine, animal husbandry and architectural restoration. I am a fan of art, film, music, photography and comedy. I have a Bachelors Degree in Economics and a Teaching Credential in Secondary Social Sciences.

    I have many years of work experience in the Restaurant and Bar industry. My last employment was working as a gardener on a Golf Course in San Francisco where I have been performing a variety of landscape maintenance including deferred tree maintenance and dead tree removal.

    I am detail oriented and capable worker. I believe in giving my best in all I do.
