Typical GM stuff. I'm also responsible for menu creation in their design and training. We've gone up in sales since my hire, nearly 70 percent, to now over 2 mil annually. I began with the overhaul of the Bar program to where liquor sales and food sales are equal to bar sales being greater on most days. I'm knowledgeable in craft beer, vintage beer, and with over 450 whiskeys, know a bit about whiskey. At Twisted Spoke, we remain one of the top whiskey bars in the country. I also created the cocktails for the bar program.

Successfully obtained the first ever liquor license of the UIC Pavilion, then moved on to work at the University of Chicago. I left because I missed the creative dynamic of managing a restaurant and dealing with it's people.

One of, if not the original great beer bar in Chicago. I learned a ton from Earle at Quenchers, but I wanted to learn the business side of starting my own place. Managed an inventory of over 300 beers.
