BIO
In the time I have worked in this business, I have had the opportunity to participate in many rewarding experiences. I was part of the team that presented the dinner for the Iran Hostages when they returned to the U.S. Additionally; three dinners, that two Presidents were the guest of honor at. I had the opportunity and the privilege of working at one of the top rated restaurants in the country. I have owned my own 3-Star Restaurant and a Catering Company. When the opportunity arose, I did relief work for the victims of the Hurricanes of 2004/2005 in Florida
