Background

About Michael Badal

I began to tend bar 6 years after High School. I was paying for college At Pellissippi State in 1991 with bar money. Tuition was a lot less expensive then. I changed majors focus from Electrical Engineering to Computer Science. Both were very difficult as I struggled thru years of repairing grades. I changed major to undecided at University of Tennessee in 2001. After years of college credits, I graduated with a Communications Degree in 2004. Major in Broadcast Production, with a Minor in History. 24k Student loans. I used the loans to pay for tuition at UT, which was twice that of Pellissippi State. I paid down credit card debt with the excess as well as a bicycle and a Tri climate jacket. I kept working at Manhattans as a bartender/lead. August 2005 left Knoxville with a friend from Atlantic City to Work for Hard Rock Cafe in Biloxi MS. Hurricaine Katrina arrived and destroyed everything but the Mississippi resolve. It would take time to repair, So we drove to Phoenix AZ. Hard Rock took us in. Worked there from Sept 05 to June 07. Returned as Trainer to Biloxi. In 08 Parted ways with Hard Rock. I really don't like Hurricanes.
