Today’s guest is Alex Bennet, Bartender and Author of “A Shot of Oakies”. For most of his Alex has been working in restaurants in some capacity or another.

In his early thirties he left and became a full-time professional bartender at a corporate restaurant. 
 
During that time, Alex also returned to school and earned his Master’s Degree in Secondary Education with a certification to teach English. Alex always equates being a bartender with being a storyteller, so he combined his experience with his education and wrote A Shot of Oakies, the first of three books in the Olde Rosie Chronicles.
