We’re celebrating a June anniversary with a little Q and A!
Meet one of our best that has been with Taziki’s for over 10 years!
David
David celebrated his
11 year anniversary
on June 8th!
Q: What position did you begin with at Taziki’s?
A: I started as a Shift Leader at the Liberty Park Location. I then moved to Virginia as a Shift Leader and worked my way up to General Manager/Operating Partner in Virginia. After that, I went on to become a Multi-Unit Manager in Atlanta. I really wanted be closer to home, so I moved back to Virginia as a Multi-Unit Manager and am now the Local Owner/ Operator in Holly Springs, NC (close enough to home - ha).
Q: What has motivated you to gain tenure here at Taziki’s?
A: The people I work with and the opportunity for mentorship across multiple brands.
Q: What is your best memory about working here?
A: Oh Gosh...The opening of the Innsbrook location - the grand opening in 2013. That is a memory I don’t think I will ever forget. It was my first time hiring and building out my own restaurant. I am proud to say that we still have a lot of the same people working there today. At the time Taziki’s was such a small concept and it has been so cool to see the brand and all our people grow.
Q: What is your favorite thing to do outside of work?
A: Fly remote control helicopters with my kids!
Q: What is one thing that maybe not a lot of people know about you?
A: I was a state wrestling champion in High School.
Q: How has the Taziki’s culture inspired your work over the last 10 years?
A: “Live the Good Life” was such an inspiring and grounding phrase that Taziki’s embraced early on. We all took it to heart and ran with it right away. It really inspired me to start changing some of my lifestyle choices and habits. It caused me to slow down, get married, have kids and just enjoy my life. I think this approach goes hand in hand with who I am. Talking to people, listening, and creating connections with people is what the “Good Life” is all about. I am lucky to have the opportunity to create and grow relationships with our staff and guests everyday.
David, we appreciate all your dedication and hard work.
We are so glad you chose to be a part of Team Tazikis!
