“I always tell people, I graduated from the University of Tropical Acres because it was a life experience from the time I was 16,” Sanson said. Jackson Sanson is 40 years old and he still works for Studiale, who has come to know him as disciplined, focused, and a reliable hard worker with a good heart. That was over two decades ago and they both still remember how they met. “I was so taken by him, I said, ‘I told you, you had to be 16.’ And he said, ‘Today is my birthday!’ I said, ‘Congratulations, you have a job!” “He walks into the office and he says, ‘Do you remember me?’ I said, ‘Of course! I do,’” Studiale said. He was ready to ask the same question, and when he learned that the restaurant’s owner was in his office, he was quick to rush in. On his birthday, Jackson decided to get back on his bicycle and go back to the steakhouse. “Seeing my mom work that hard, I had to do my part and try to help out,” Jackson said about why he put his sights on a goal that for a moment seemed impossible: A job at the Tropical Acres Steakhouse on Griffin Road. He said it weighed on him that his mother was breaking her back cleaning hotel rooms. Studiale knew Jackson was young, so he asked him for his age, and when he learned he was just 15, he told him he needed to be 16 years old to be hired. “The young man comes up riding his bike, approaches me,” Studiale said adding then Jackson asked him if he knew who he needed to see to apply for a job. Without knowing that he was approaching the owner of Tropical Acres Steakhouse, Jack Studiale, a caring restauranteur in Fort Lauderdale, Jackson asked for help.
He decided to get on his bicycle and search for a job to help at home. – At 15 years old, Jackson Sanson was tired of seeing his mother struggle.
