Hospitality executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience in food and beverage operations across private clubs, resort casinos, and large hospitality venues. I specialize in building high-performing teams, strengthening service culture, and delivering exceptional guest experiences in complex, high-volume environments.My career began in the culinary field as a Certified Executive Chef (CEC) and evolved into senior operational leadership overseeing multi-outlet food and beverage programs, including restaurants, catering, large events, and premium dining venues.I have led large integrated hospitality operations with full P&L responsibility, managing significant operating budgets, complex multi-venue environments, and large cross-functional teams while maintaining a disciplined focus on guest experience, profitability, and operational efficiency.Most recently, I led food and beverage operations within a premier private club environment recognized as a Distinguished Club by BoardRoom Magazine, acknowledged by Forbes Travel Guide, and included among America’s Healthiest Clubs. Operating within organizations that maintain these standards reinforced my focus on service excellence, operational discipline, and a culture that attracts and develops exceptional hospitality professionals.I have a strong track record of improving operational performance, turning around underperforming operations, and implementing systems that elevate both guest satisfaction and financial results.In addition to my operational background, I hold the Certified Wine Professional (CWP) credential and have completed hospitality leadership programs through Cornell University. I am currently continuing my studies at Texas Tech University, further expanding my expertise in hospitality, hotel, and restaurant management.
