✅ HOW IT BEGAN:During my time serving in the United States Marine Corp, I worked as a part-time security host with China Beach, a restaurant/nightclub. I worked my way up the ladder as a bartender, bar back, server, and cook. Two years later, I moved into management. As the General Manager, I opened my first store, an ultra-lounge/sushi concept from the ground up. After a couple of years, I moved into the corporate world with Jillian’s Entertainment where I became a Regional Training Manager and was instrumental in overhauling a struggling nightclub in Louisville, taking that unit from $600/week to over $20,000 within a month! My career advanced with Headliners Entertainment as a Multi-Venue General Manager then as a Director of Operations with Entertainment Consulting International where I led up to 26 stores with a $50M P&L ✅ WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT:🔸My Military Experience – The military taught me how to be reliable, consistent, and meticulous about planning. I had to think on my feet every day. At a moment’s notice, everything can change, and a new challenge presents itself. A part of me still functions under those conditions, so I’m prepared and never caught off guard when things change at the last minute. 🔸Agility – I have experience working in virtually all types of food and beverage establishments including restaurants, bars, nightclubs, cafes, pubs, music venues, and VIP clubs🔸Aptitude for Team Building –As a servant leader, I have a unique ability to gain employee buy-in and turn around any situation. With the right combination of leadership, organization, strategy, and work ethic, my team and I can move mountains. ✅ HOW OTHERS DESCRIBE ME:Peers describe me as a servant leader, someone who is driven, inspirational, organized, and conscientious with an intense passion for excellence. I am self-motivated, set the bar high for myself, and expect nothing less than my very best. ✅ HOBBIES/INTERESTS:Health and fitness, investing, real estate, golf, dining out✅ WHAT’S NEXT:As an executive hospitality leader with an entrepreneurial spirit, I would like to bring my broad business acumen, skills and talents to a progressive organization that is looking for a change agent. My leadership experience, coupled with my education and ability to provide a best-in-class customer experience, lends itself to make me an ideal candidate for any type of multi-unit management position including District Manager, Regional Manager, Director of Operations, or Vice President.
