Connecting abilities to opportunities: Arc Success Stories
Chris
Chris is a dedicated family man from Deland, Fla. who works hard to earn a living and provide for his wife and son. Recently, Chris celebrated a major milestone when he reached 15 years of employment at Taco Bell. Five to seven days a week, Chris and one of the managers open up the Taco Bell in North Deland for business and prepare for the lunch rush. Chris enjoys his job grilling up the taco shells to be used through lunchtime of any given day and his supervisors report that he consistently does a great job, even in the chaos of the lunch rush. But the best part of his day is when Chris leaves work in the early afternoon so he can get home in time to meet his son at the bus stop when he comes home from school. Chris receives employment support from his Arc job coach Mike Gussman and independent living support from his Arc coach Kathy Benton.
