SUMMARY __
I have been a part of the restaurant industry since my first job in middle school and truly do love this business. I am best known for my ability to “Flip” underperforming locations into productive profitable operations. I am a confident, encouraging, and visionary leader. I take great pride in the people around me and strive to develop my team into the best! I can recite financials and percentages like the back of my hand and am known to deliver clean and profitable P&L statements. I look forward to expounding on my experience, passion, and love for this business in future correspondence.
