Summary

Highly driven General Manager successful at implementing strategic approaches to drive profitability and sales. Recognized for performance excellence in operations and customer care. Successful at motivating, training and developing team members to drive profitability in highly competitive environment.

I have worked in the restaurant business my whole life. I fell in love with it at Famous Dave's, where I started off as a host and worked my way all the way to becoming General Manager. Ever since Dave's, I haven't felt the same passion as I did for the restaurant business. I worked at a couple of other restaurants, but due to a lack of communication between departments, they never worked out for me. I now wish to find a new position and a new passion somewhere I can use all the skills I've learned over the years. I have a great, friendly personality. I'm very driven, hardworking, and a quick learner. I have twenty years of customer service skills as well. Eager and excited to learn new skills.
