Summary

I moved to Minnesota in November 2024. Since moving here, I was Bartending at Little Six Casino at Mystic Lake for a period of time. I did leave on good terms, but had to return to california for an undetermined amount of time due to a death in my family. Upon my return I began working for Rock-n-Water Landscape, building and doing maintenance on all sizes of water features. I am looking to find another Bartending job, as it was something i am good at. I only work seasonally for landscaping and want to find something I can do year-round.
