Bulkheads Taphouse & Corner Kitchen is a 50 seat Taphouse that offers a wide array of food and beer offerings. I opened the restaurant along side the owners in December of 2020. Since then I have overseen all purchasing, menu development, payroll, and daily operations.

Latitude 38 is a successful waterfront restaurant located in the heart of Downtown Annapolis, right at City Dock. The huge multi level 25,000 square foot building provides the best views Annapolis and the surrounding waters has to offer. During my tenure here, I have successfully built a Wine/Happy Hour Loyalty Program, Club 38. Where for a low monthly fee, members get access to happy hour pricing, a free bottle of wine, and many more benefits, currently we are at about 450 members, with many on hold due to Covid 19.Additionally, I was able to spearhead a weekly Free Community Farmers Market for nearly 20 weeks, providing hundreds of thousands of pounds of produce, prepared meals, and grocery items to our First Responders, Active and Retired Military Families, and anyone in need across the state. Because of this great work, and being able to provide to help those in need throughout Maryland, I was honored to receive official proclamations, and citations from the Governor Larry Hogan, The Maryland State General Assembly, County Executive and Council of Anne Arundel County, and the Mayor and City Council of Annapolis. I am a proven leader in hospitality management, controlling costs, while increasing sales, and connecting with both the staff and the guests to make an all around amazing experience for everyone.

I started on board the Pride of America Cruise ship as a bartender. The ship does 7 day cruises along the Hawaiian Islands. While working on board you work for 6 months straight. After the successful completion of several contracts I was promoted to Head Bartender, which is a Bar Management role where you oversee the operations of all 13 bars on board the ship.

ESPN Zone was a former restaurant chain operated by the WDC, and we followed the strict operating guidelines established by the famed brand.
