What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in restaurant or hospitality operations where I can improve profitability, mentor teams, and enhance guest experience.

I am an accomplished General Manager with over 25 years of progressive experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry, focused on operational leadership, strategic planning, and team development. I consistently drive revenue growth and cost reductions through targeted marketing, vendor negotiations, and process improvements.

Throughout my career I have led high-volume operations, standardized service procedures, and implemented staffing and inventory controls that improved efficiency and profitability. I spearheaded initiatives such as third-party delivery partnerships that increased annual revenue by 18% and organized fundraisers that generated over $15,000 for community organizations.

I am known for developing leadership within supervisory teams, ensuring regulatory compliance, and fostering positive workplace culture that prioritizes guest satisfaction. I bring disciplined P&L oversight, strong vendor management, and a hands-on approach to operational excellence.
