His dream job would be as a travel writer so he could continue exploring new places and meeting new people.
After all, MK has already had his passport stamped in Poland, Spain, Italy, South Africa and elsewhere.
And someday he'd like to go back to school, to further his education, and then settle down in Spainwhere he studied and lived for a year while in college in 2004-2005.
MK, who is fluent in Spanish, said his dream travel destination is Asia.
"The best part of my job [is], I like the hours as I am more of night owl," MK said. "It's also great meeting new people every night, plus, I really like experimenting with new drinks and learning more about mixology from our partners at Angel's Share Mixology."
MK, who moved to Chicago five years ago, said he has a new favorite work story almost every weekend. "I can't think of one that is appropriate to put in print though," he said, laughing.
"Part of what I love about my job is that I get to throw a party with my friends [and] co-workers every night and watch our customers enjoy the production. The most difficult part of the job is the long hours." Thus, connecting with friends who live a traditional nine-to-five gig can be challenging, he said.
