Partially owned the business with my Father. I worked here as a cook while the business was getting up and running. As school started back I was no longer able to keep this job and my job at Acme, so I left Jimmy Bigg's. After cooking, I stepped into a more administrative role, helping with various bookkeeping and advertising tasks.
