I am a Restaurant Operator with 20 years of experience managing in a variety of concepts, including corporate and independent businesses.  I have seen first hand how many mangers want to be great, but often don't receive the coaching and development they need to meet their full potential.  My hope is to use my experience to offer Restaurant Managers a source to continue to grow in their careers.

I am also a professor of Hospitality and Tourism Management at Grand Valley State University, where I teach Food and Beverage Management.
