(25 years) 1977-2003

With 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, my journey began in 1977 as the first apprentice cook in the U.S. through the American Culinary Federation correspondence course. I graduated with top honors and earned a gold medal from Washburne Culinary Academy. I then launched a thriving catering business, generating $1.5 million annually and achieving 50% growth for three consecutive years, ultimately reaching $3 million. In my roles as Director of Operations, General Manager, and Certified Chef, I’ve successfully managed a multi-unit small chain with $28 million in annual revenue, and achieved up to $10 million for a single venue. As Director of Operations, I led teams across over 30 restaurant concepts, enhancing efficiency through targeted training and development. As an ACF/National Restaurant Association Gold Medalist Chef, I am passionate about creating exceptional dining experiences that leave a lasting impact. [More Info Here]
