Finding my passion for hospitality as a young adult, I have since spent 15 years experiencing the industry first as a server, bartender, and line cook, then bar manager, hotel F&B Director, restaurant GM, Sommelier, and now Multi-Unit Manager. What I discovered along the way is my true passion for teaching and leading other professionals to understand what true service really is- bringing joy to another person's life, if only for a table turn time. I am now primarily focused on managing and leading GMs while developing a new division in our company. As schedule allows, you might find me as the Somm on the floor at varying locations within our restaurant group - stop in and let us show you what we're all about!
