Hospitality/Food And Beverage Industry - All Aspects Within
Daniel Island,SC
Summary
My history in the food and beverage industry, over 30 years in Charleston, is rich in experience, drawn from a variety of my mentors that runs deep from many local peers of note. Instead of a laundry list of my past work posts I have attached a brief synopsis. I hope this is acceptable but considering I have not really applied for a position in nearly 30 years I apologize in advance if this irregular.
I truly love the service industry and am driven to create the best experiences for my guests with each and every opportunity they afford me by their patronage. I've always said opportunity is all we’re given…our success is dutifully earned.
Thank you for your consideration......Marc Fisher
