I perceived my first career opportunity after college as a huge challenge,
almost nine years ago, when I accepted the position of Assistant General
Manager leading in to Vice President of Marketing. I have over nine years
impressive success in the food & beverage and entertainment sectors,
running company-wide operational functions and leading large scale
projects, from inception to successful completion, while making/executing
sound strategic decisions. It was an almost impossible feat until I
successfully overcame the challenge and far surpassed all expectations; I
am proud to be recognized for my work being nominated and named in "2011
Who's Who of Marketing & Business Executives".

including a night club, multiple adult oriented gentlemen's
clubs, and successfully opening new locations.
2. Creating a substantial turn-around and increase in profit
margins, receiving public & social acceptance, earning a
prestige #1 reward in a large city's nightlife category.

Federal government officials to publicly acknowledge, agree
and respect my work in newspapers

MSNBC along with the top five regional radio stations.
5. Becoming the first nightclub in the industry to become a
