Summary

As a 20 year native to Los Angeles and a transplant from Iowa and Chicago. I have a diverse and far-reaching experience in Bar and Restaurant operations, expanding from smaller neighborhood restaurants to high-volume Bars and Restaurants. I have held Manager positions from Floor Manager to General Manager of Operations with a proven track record of increasing sales and profit margins while decreasing the costs of Labor, Alcohol and Food. I am a firm believer in the value of authenticity, teamwork, transparency, and the personalization of guest experiences in an establishment that thrives on individuality and community.
