MY CAREER AS A RESTAURANT EMPLOYEE IN SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH, AND, BEFORE THAT, IN THE AUSTIN AREA OF TEXAS

I lead a permanently illicit-drug-free, alcohol-free, tobacco-free, and non-vaping lifestyle. I am also consistently clean-talking, honest, conscientious, polite, and law-abiding, and I do not have any criminal-conviction record. I have a strong Utah heritage (my father was born and raised in Murray) and I became a permanent resident of Utah on January 1, 2023, after I had relocated to the Salt Lake City area from Texas on December 31, 2021.

My career pursuits in restaurants as a server or waitstaff member have included:

---April 27, 2002, until June of 2009: Server (waitstaff member) in the Austin area of Texas for a variety of corporate-owned Souper Salad Restaurant locations. Souper Salad Restaurants during that time period were headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
---October 2002 through October 2007, and other multi-year periods of employment for IHOP at various times that ended in mid-2016: Waiter for several different respective IHOP-chain franchise-owned restaurants in the greater Austin area of Texas.
---April 8, 2008, through February 15, 2016: Waitstaff member for a Luby's Cafeteria location in northwest Austin, Texas. My position of employment ended when Luby's corporate headquarters in Houston in February 2016 closed the entire Luby's location where I was officially employed at that time.
---October 2007 to April 2008: Waiter at Village Inn 620 in Cedar Park, Texas. My job ended when that chain restaurant location was permanently closed by the regional franchise headquarters in April 2008.
---2011 through 2014: Waiter at Denny's Lakeline franchise-owned chain restaurant in northwest Austin.

The entire restaurant was destroyed by that fire.
--June 29, 2016, until mid-December 2021: Hospitality staff member at two respective Whataburger-chain restaurants in northwest Austin.

I resigned from my job at Whataburger in late 2021 and gave full notice on that because I was planning to move to Utah and there were no Whataburger restaurants in Utah.
