I originally turned to the night life/entertainment industry as a way to make extra money. Little to my knowledge, at the time, I would quickly fall in love and make it my passion. Starting as a security guard at one of the largest and most popular nightclubs in the area and being a highly driven team member, I was able to successfully implement strategic approaches to drive profitability and sales. Being recognized for my performance in operations and customer care, I was quickly promoted to head of security. I was successful at motivating, training and developing team members to control large crowds, minimize risk, and keep a safe and fun environment for guests. From there I was moved to vip host in the position. I was also able to drive profitability in a highly competitive environment. This led me to be promoted to GM overseeing all daily operations.
