Accomplishments

I was raised in the restaurant business, with the guidance and leadership from my father. I am proficient in all aspects of the daily operations of a restaurant. I pride myself in my knowledge and love for the trade. I have my father’s encouragement and determination to thank for all the years I’ve spent committed and thriving in the food service industry. I am a people oriented person. I love a challenge and enjoy satisfying customers. Success stems from hard work, devotion, and a love for the business.

One of my father’s final phrases to me was; “I’ve given you my courage, my strength, my wisdom; now walk in my shoes.” Over the years, working hand in hand and with my father, I’ve learned how to manage, operate, and succeed. Our business was extremely successful, “after all without Raay-Nor’s it just wouldn’t be Long Island”.
