I’ve spent over 30 years building, leading, and operating independent restaurants across multiple segments of the hospitality industry. My focus has always been the same: align leadership, control costs, and create consistency under pressure.

I’ve conceptualized, designed, built, owned, and run highly profitable businesses in New York City, Portland, and the Boston metro area. More importantly, I’ve built teams that stay, perform, and grow together over time.

I don’t consult from the pass. I work inside the pressure of service—on the line, in prep, and on the floor—observing, adjusting, and helping leaders correct issues in real time. My focus is simple: raise standards, stabilize team dynamics, and build operations that run consistently, especially under stress.

My approach comes from decades in high-stakes environments and a deep understanding of how people respond under pressure. I help leaders communicate more clearly, hold accountability without creating resistance, and build teams that are steady, aligned, and reliable.

I’ve led businesses through three “once-in-a-lifetime” disruptions—9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic—maintaining profitability while keeping teams intact and employed.

If your operation is dealing with leadership breakdowns, inconsistency, or cultural drag, I work directly with you and your team to diagnose the issue and fix it—quickly and practically.
