text: Yesterday, I presented a high-achievement award to Laredo Olive Garden manager, Jonathan Alamilla.  Jonathan is a native of Laredo who has worked in the restaurant business since he was 16.  He started off as a cook at Olive Garden when it first opened and worked his way up through many roles in the restaurant.  In his two years as general manager, he has led his restaurant to win the Diamond Award every year.   I want to congratulate Jonathan for the determination, hard work, and resilience that have clearly made him such a success.  We need more leaders like him who can inspire their employees and lead their team to success.
