Have You Met...Eric Reid?
This week we meet a barista with plans for the IT industry.
1. What is your profession and why did you choose it?
I am working as a barista at Starbucks right now. I plan on going into the IT industry and my ultimate goal is to own and run my own IT/technology company. I love working at Starbuck's. It is exciting, I always get to meet new people, and I love what we do and what the company stands for. I have also always loved computers and technology and the way people interact with them. IT is what I studied in school and that will be my final profession.
2. What do you like most about the Alpharetta/Milton area?

I have lived in Alpharetta for almost 15 years; I did most of my growing up here. I love how even though it has grown so much, it steel feels like a small community and I know people here everywhere I go. It really is a great area and everyone is so much friendlier than other places I have lived.
3. What is your life motto?

I don't really have a catchy motto, but it would have to include work hard, love what you do, and do what makes you the happiest.
