Experience

1. CEO and Founding Partner

   Wet Willie\'s

   Jan 1990 — Present · GE

   Wet Willie\'s is a chain of restaurant/bars which began as a crazy idea in 1988. A small group of friends/family members (Me, my father, Dave and his brother Eric, and Bob, a friend) joined together to explore the possibilities of opening a restaurant/bar featuring frozen cocktails. By late 1989 it was decided we would start our first location, which opened on March 17, 1990 (St. Patrick\'s Day!) on River Street in Savannah, GA. Since this first location we have carefully and strategically grown to 17 locations. We are located in GA, FL, SC, NC, TN, NJ, MO, NV, MA, RI, and AL. Wet Willie\'s now employees over 600 people. In all locations we are very active in multiple charitable activities and consistently strive to be good corporate citizens in each of our communities. Our corporate hedquarters (Wet Willie\'s Management Corp) remain in Savannah. For more info visit us at:
