THE ONLY THING BIGGER THAN OUR
SELECTION IS TACO BELL'S NEW

SERVICE YOU WANT TO HAVE, I CAN
BRING THAT LOVE AND JOY TO THE

MISSION IS TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS.
IT SHOULDN'T DO AND HAVE

MIND THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO
ACCOMPLISH AND GET TO WORK TO
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
HE  HAS A TON OF ENTHUSIASM.

COMMERCIAL IS LOCAL.
HE HOPES IT GOES PARTIALLY.
