Education Opens up the Mind

In the summer of 1994, I worked for a struggling hotel restaurant on the Oregon coast. My primary roles were busser and banquet server, but I also took on room service waiter, restaurant waiter, and janitor. I worked 60 to 70 hours per week, often working multiple roles simultaneously. My supervisor began calling me “Bickel, Bickel, & Bickel” because (he said) I did the work of three people.
Today, Bickel3 stands for increasing understanding and. It is about doing humble work that helps create future opportunities. doing what needs to be done.
