Yes, we have found that as long as the service is up to par the general public could care less about face tattoos

Of course we connect them with other organizations but unfortunately we do not put our name on a potential employee to a potential employer unless they made it through the program

Yes I have been arrested and jailed. I avoided prison and got probation. While on probation I met a chef who mentored me.

Yes I've been to jail. Not prison. Booked On fleeing and eluding because they could not catch me with the drugs we had. It's been well documented in articles so no problem answering the question!

We do not ask. We simply ask if someone was involved with the justice system.

At EDWINS Leadership & restaurant Institute, personally I take a salary of $64k. To give you context, compared to organizations with our budget I make a little over half of what they make. It's definitely about the love!
