My career spans more than 35 years in the hospitality industry, with the last 25+ years as a General Manager/Chief Operating Officer of private yacht, dining and country clubs.
This career has given me the opportunity to positively effect the work culture and profitability of an 95+ year old prestigious yacht club, as well as oversee the rebuild of a country club devasted in a California wild fire, and the creation of a new high service dining club. I work throughout the world with organizations to improve their workplace environments, resulting in a higher level of service and profitability.
I am a father, husband and graduate of The Collins School of Hospitality Management at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

Most people think and practice a Have, Do, Be mentality and lifestyle. For example, “When I get a new car, then I will get to work on time and then I will be happy.” To create happiness, we must first look inside ourselves and Be comfortable with ourself. Then we can Do the right thing and take the corrective action (in line with our goals), in order for us to Have what we want most in life. Everyone has issues and challenges in life, and the only thing we can control is how we react to it. This education session will move the audience towards a mindset for optimism and set them for success with a “Be” attitude.
