Chart House Landry's Inc.
General Manager
La Jolla, California
February 2002 – April 2003
I was given a store that was slated to be closed in an unknown timeframe and made the best of a very difficult situation and kept almost the entire staff together until the final day which was a year later. I was the only manager and truly learned to rely on systems and checklists to get myself through each day and ensure I was not missing anything. I also learned to empower my staff and where I believe my roots for my future successes in development came from.
