I have been active in the hospitality, real estate, and performing arts professions. I have owned and operated restaurants, bars, and catering companies and venues for many years at the Jersey Shore and New York City. I also am a consultant to the hospitality industry, a partner and a sales associate in a real estate brokerage, worked extensively in the performing arts, and have been on the boards of a few non-profit arts organizations and local government committees. My expertise is in operations, marketing, strategic planning, design, and the many facets of those businesses.
