NICK TARLOWSKI

Playing a show with my band, The JV Allstars, in my hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska... I've worn a lot of hats throughout my time in the food and restaurant industry, and worked my way up from serving tables and cleaning restrooms to managing at one of Lincoln, Nebraska's most popular local bar and restaurants. I got my start in the industry in my early 20's when I had to find a way to balance making a living while following my musical endeavors. I quickly found that if you want to get ahead you need to be bend over backwards for everyone around you, be trustworthy, ethical, and treat others fairly. In the beginning, I'd serve tables or bartend, put my cash in my pocket, and head out on the road for weeks at a time. And almost every time, I'd come home broke with bills to pay. So I'd work long hours serving tables, bartending, and picking up shifts under any job code my bosses would allow me to work. I taught music on the side and routinely had 3 jobs. Working hard meant I could get out..
