This week we are joined by longtime friend John Kent. John got his start in the Industry while still in high school washing dishes at the age of 17. At the end of his university career John started working as a waiter and bartender at East Side Marios. After several years, John moved on to working in fine dining and became a wine rep for an independent wine distributor. Over time, an opportunity arose for John to manage local karaoke land mark Chainsaw. From there he moved on to working at Public and eventually opened a business with his wife - J&P Grocery - a small urban style grocery store and catering business. After several years, and realizing that a life work balance was difficult, they made the decision to close the store. Currently, John is happier than ever now that his life and health are back on track and he is working as a sales consultant for two independent wine distributors.
