1. Introduction
I've relocated to central California looking for a
positive change. Having lived in lower Fairfield County
Connecticut, 30 minutes from the center of NYC for most
all my life, I found that I could no longer deny the
need to leave that atmosphere.
I worked for GQ & Vogue magazines doing old school
graphics in my youth. I handled customer management and
sales for large format digital printing and variable
data direct marketing companies.
While feeling my way through the business of creativity
and graphics I have managed to live a comfortable life
in hospitality businesses. When making a meager salary
as an artist in New York, I picked up a few shifts at a
friend’s tavern / club in Stamford CT. I wound up
entrenched in the industry of pleasing the general
public.
I've worked as a territory manager with us-foodservice,
run live music, food & beverage, catering, staffing,
branding, actual construction of venues, price points,
and menu concept from a blank page to a top notch array
of successful plates.
I focus on detail, and organization almost to
a fault. I like to surpass expectations.
I am specifically interested in customer management.
My goal is a position with room for growth. I want to
work with positive people in a productive and
professional atmosphere.
