Hire Me

I am planning to make a career of tending bar, eventually owning and running my own tavern. To that end, I am looking for every opportunity to hone my skills. Here are a few ideas:

Private Parties
Rate: $20 per hour
I charge a minimum number of hours loosely based on the distance from my home (Alameda), as well as what tools and appliances I'll need to bring. If you need me to purchase alcohol, we can talk about what your expectations are, and I'll be happy to purchase and transport it to your party. For this convenience, I'll add an extra hour to my fee, along with the total of the receipts, which I will provide for your inspection. I'm looking forward to making your party memorable and enjoyable for you and your guests!

Catered Events
If you are a caterer in need of a bartender, or a catering company specializing in beverage, I want to be part of your team. I can accommodate a wide range of dress codes, and I'm comfortable working with massive crowds while maintaining a positive and professional demeanor. Let me know where to be and when, and I won't let you down!

Charity Events
At the risk of sounding mercenary, I love to get paid. But cash is not always the best reward! For charity events I'm happy to contribute my effort and hours in exchange for the chance to meet people and make connections. Don't be shy! If I have the time, I'll happily come and help you in any way I can!

Tending Your Bar
If you own or manage a bar in or near Alameda, I want to be your employee! Whether you need an on-call employee to cover the occasional shift, or a new full-time employee to devote himself to your establishment, I'm your man! As I've said, my ultimate goal is to own and run my own place, so this kind of experience is my top priority. Any wisdom you care to share will be remembered and appreciated!

If any of the above fit your needs, let me encourage you to contact me at your earliest convenience.
