Initially when he moved out to California during his younger years, he was much more reserved, observant and closed off to the idea of meeting new people. Once he got acclimated and made connections, he opened up to become the goofball that he is today. With age, much of his antics have toned down along with the fact that he's running his business, but when drinks are flowing and music is playing, Javier enjoys being the life of the party.[/indent] [color=#9370DB][b]| LIKES |[/b][/color] [indent]Cooking, Music, Sports, Nature, Good Vibes[/indent] [color=#9370DB][b]| DISLIKES |[/b][/color] [indent]Dishonesty, Cats, Inclement Weather, Mistakes, Heights[/indent] [color=#9370DB][b]| HABITS |[/b][/color] [indent]Playing Music, Smoking Weed, Shoe Purchases, Buying Cooking Supplies, Zoning Out[/indent] [color=#9370DB][b]| FEARS |[/b][/color] [indent]Failing in Business, Disappointing his Family[/indent] [color=#9370DB][b]| BACKGROUND |[/b][/color] [indent]Javier had a troublesome upbringing. Born in the a small town, his father was a gang member who was constantly in and out of jail while his mother struggled to make ends meet while working for a home daycare. With no consistent parenting at home, Javier eventually found "family" in the same way that his father did when he was younger by integrating himself into the street life, finding refuge in a local gang. In the midst of this, he visited his father in prison where they had a lengthy discussion about how his antics would eventually lead him into the same place where he was, but Javier was stubborn. Why would he listen to someone who was never there in the first place? Fortunately for Javier's well-being, his mother had family in the California area that agree to take him on in an effort to right the ship. Before Javy could get too embedded in the wrong situation, he was quickly sent to live with his family in California where he was placed in a good school. The problem was that he couldn't relate to any of the other students. It wasn't until he bought in to some of the extra-curricular activities such as basketball and (unwillingly) Home Economics where he truly found some sort of purpose. Once he graduated, Javier made the tough decision to leave the area that helped shape him into becoming a man and attended a culinary school back in Tennessee to refine his skills and begin his entrepreneurial pursuits of owning and operating a restaurant. Through discipline and determination, he saved up enough money during his time as a chef to purchase his own food truck which eventually led him back to California where his business could not only be planter, but flourish as well. Presently, Javier is learning that success comes with a price. Expectation, demands and stress are all things he has to learn to cope with, but he wouldn't trade it for the world. It feels good for him to be back in California as he feels that this is where he is supposed to be. He's fortunate that his community of friends and loved ones are there to support him.[/indent][/hider]
