PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY I am energetic and a self-motivated Culinary and Hospitality professional with over 30 years of experience in the industry. I possess outstanding leadership and communication skills and the ability to build rapport and strong relationships with colleagues, staff and guests . I excel as a leader in high-pressure, challenging and deadline-driven environments. While working in conjunction with others for decades, I have gathered knowledge to assist in creating dynamic and cohesive teams. This has proven to make far more headway than if done with any single talented individual. I bring a blend of creativity, passion, exceptional culinary skills and a varied base of knowledge to the table. My strongest qualities include communication, organization, commitment and vision. My passion to keep high standards in quality, taste and presentation, while maintaining profitable margins have proven to be successful for multiple situations in both Front and Back of the house . I have an innate ability to develop, execute and train staff to reproduce my visions and recipes as well as standards that are in place, with high quality results without being so rigid that the individuals' creativity is stifled.
