Summary
I am currently still running my little vending business one day per week to pay bills to assist me and my fiancé. I have Co-Owned four restaurants for a short period, Also online Stores for my hobby/creativity output and a little bit of cash occasionally. Four investment properties I owned and helped renovate for a few years that helped me buy my Vending Machines and online stores. I intend to continue, and to conciliate with more work and challenges, expanding my networking, commitment and routine, for the next few years. I have a Go-Getter attitude, ownership/management skills that I believe would be beneficial in any job and I am flexible with hours, but would prefer to keep Monday free to do vending.
