Before venturing into technology and accounting, I built my management skills inside the world of hospitality. With its emphasis on intrapersonal relationships and focus on the client experience, it made me into a professional that thrives at social engagement. Launching and leading the award-winning Murphy's Pub & Grill, I've provided guests with a dining and leisure experience that emphasizes quality and consistency. I'm honored to have helped forge this restaurant's path towards success.My career has awarded me versatility and expertise in the arts of customer service. I've worked as an airline agent, and also provided my services as bartender, server, and cook at great Black Hills destinations such as the Rushmore Holiday Inn, Rushmore Hotel, and Minerva's Restaurant. I can recommend having dining and lodging experiences at any of these locations!In my free time I love having fun with my children, taking hikes through the beautiful Black Hills, watching sci-fi movies, playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends from college, and teaching myself something I don't know.My path has given me a strong sense of what clients want and how to give them an experience that creates long-lasting relationships. My time here in Rapid City has also allowed me to develop a strong network with its citizens and learn the importance of being an active, informed member of the community.If you want to explore what data analytics, process automation, or web apps can do for your business, or maybe other topics like technology, accounting, finance, restaurant management, D&D or science fiction, I would love to hear your thoughts or requests!
