Summary
I have been in the nightclub and restaurant business for over 18 years. I started out as a dish washer, and worked my way up to ownership of 4 very successful nightclubs. I have put together clubs for as little as $40k and as high as $2.5 million. They have been everything from local hang outs to celebrity endorsed mega clubs. I have skills in marketing, promoting, P&L statements, payroll, liquor laws, security, build outs, labor laws, inventory and cost control. I am a hard worker, and expect nothing but the best from the people I work with.
