Objective Statement
I have been involved in a technical sales environment for over twenty years,
focusing on the generation of revenue, engineering communications networks, and
management of sales offices. During this time, I have also been following a path
to accomplish a separate goal, which involves hospitality and cuisine with a
focus on service to the customer. One of my lifelong ambitions includes becoming
an integral part of an incredible restaurant or hotel which caters to the
clientele, pursuing their every desire in both ambiance and the culinary arts.
During this quest, I have also been improving my business skills and experience
to handle any task presented to insure the integrity and success of any industry
pursuit. My mantra is “Whatever it takes to get the job done…and achieve
excellence.”
