Simple and Effective Service Forty years of experience as an estate manager, butler and valet, working for royalty, diplomats, philanthropists, investment bankers, business tycoons, fashion designers and entertainment luminaries. HM Queen Elizabeth II was my first full-time employer.Born in Germany, raised in Singapore and the U.K, my chosen profession has brought me to Europe, North Africa, The Middle East, and the Americas. My expertise includes household and estate management, residential staffing and training, professional and personal etiquette personal care and domestic education.I believe that good service is simply the expression of consideration for fellow colleagues, guests, and members of a household whether in a formal or informal home. This personal approach puts the human experience of service at the center of my consulting approach.As well as being the place we live, our homes and their contents are a major financial asset that should be managed and cared for as such. I provide custom solutions to suit the needs and desires of my clients in both formal and informal homes.During my 30+ year career, my posts have included:• Estate Manager/Butler to Mrs. Vincent (Brooke) Astor overseeing her permanent staff in two homes, as well as travel and healthcare needs• Being the leader and organizing force in both informal and formal households for employers in a variety of fields, including prominent philanthropists, diplomats, bankers, and entertainers• Senior Footman to H.M.
