The Next Chapter

The past few years have been quite amazing. I was given the opprotunity to open and own my own bussiness. This was an amazing experience and one that I am glad is over for me. Travis Brady, Troy Sutton & myself opened Food Works on May 30th in 2006. The amount of work it takes to operate this 11,000 square foot monster is amazing! With as many as 140 employees we were able to feed 1000 people a day. The second year in bussiness was much more chalanging, the city of Chattanooga closed the road for 7 months and gave us only a three day notice to prepare. As you can imagine this was quite a chalanging adjustment as your average consumer is rather turned off by driving through a construction site just to go out to eat. I'm sure I'll continue to rant about my very expensive business venture that left me broke but for now I'll will continue on with the next chapter. This is my first blog post and it is happening the Monday after I introduced my beautiful girlfriend to my mother. Mom agrees, I'm way outa my league! We had a great time in Aiken, SouthCarolina @ Steeple Chase! This photo is with my iPhone and no photo shop! Cool huh?! I'm selling the few belongings I have left this weekend and moving to the west coast, for me, for her & that is where I've always wanted to be. I've got a few interviews lined up in the wine brokering bussiness but no job yet and that makes me a little nervous. Everything will work out, I'm sure. Imagine trying to post here a few times a week to document this life journey, so keep up, keep in touch & I look forward to seeing you soon!
