William Cannell Email & Phone Number

For as long as I can remember and as far back as my family can tell me, I wanted to be in the business. During preschool there was a break and eat truck that would come by everyday to serve the construction crews. I was enamored, way before food trucks were popular, I wanted to grow up and become a break and eat truck driver. My life goals have evolved significantly since then, but Food, Beverage and Service have been my passions ever since. During my time in New York gaining the best culinary education in the world at the CIA, my love for food and cooking expanded exponentially. It has been a while since I have held the position of cook, but my past allows me to communicate and connect on a higher level to both front and back of the house teams.After living in California and Colorado, beer, wine and spirits have become second nature. Keeping up with latest vintage releases, the most current beer offerings and the newest spirit from a familiar brand is a never-ending journey that brings joy like no other. While progressing through different roles at different companies I have been apart of changes for the better. Service, more than anything is about care. How can I best serve and care for all stakeholders; owners, guests, and my team is what guides all business decisions. At work I manage 200 accounts on their way back from the most recent volatility that 2020 brought to the hospitality industry. Each day I am adapting to the latest information, creating plans and communicating them while staying calm in the storm of uncertainty.At home I continue the chase for the freshest new beverages, enjoy time outside in nature and take pleasure in cooking new meals for my family.
