“I can always count on Melvin! He always arrives early for his shifts, works well independently, and has a positive and pleasant attitude. The great thing about him is that he’ll pick up someone else’s shift without notice if someone doesn’t come in”
– Patrick Evans, T.J.’s Restaurant, The Jefferson Hotel. Melvin was recently named “Restaurant Employee of the Year” by the Governor’s Conference on Tourism
