For me, Taco John’s is home. I had my first Potato Olé in Fort Collins on North College Avenue, my first
Crunchy Chicken Meat and Potato at the Fort Collins High School’s food court and my first meaningful job
at the Wellington, Colorado location; I have been with TJI since 2010.
TJI offers so many benefits, such as tuition and child-care reimbursement, that have promoted my
personal growth and the community’s endeavors. It has enabled me to better myself for my family due
to the investment Taco John’s International has made in its employees. I will be graduating with degrees
in culinary, restaurant management and business specializations in the spring of 2020. Thank you to
everyone and the company that has enriched my life, my community and my family.
At the Wellington Taco John’s, I learned invaluable leadership skills and how to make someone’s day
better with a taco. The food and the” Mexcellent” way of life is why I love my Taco John’s; it is an honor
to continue the vision and legacy of Harold Holmes, John Turner and Jim Woodson.

I started working at Taco John’s in the summer of 2016 and instantly fell in love with the family
atmosphere the Holmes family provided for their employees. Their love for the company stretched into
every aspect of the business and taught me a love for something more than just a paycheck. Three years
later, the love and passion for TJ has taken me places I never dreamed of. Each step, each opportunity
to grow, each recognition for a job well done keeps me coming back day after day. The chance to
represent TJI as a nominee for Manager of the Year has been by far the biggest honor of my career. TJI
has given me opportunities to create a lifetime career in an industry my heart beats for.

What I love about my job is that they offer opportunity to grow. I started when I was in high school and moved my way up to General Manager. I enjoy what I do and I love the people that I get to work with every day – they are a second family to me.
