Twenty-five years. Four rooms.
One playbook.
Every chapter taught the same lesson, from the floor to the operator’s chair: take care of the team, and the rest of the business takes care of itself.
BOA Steakhouse Scottsdale
Brought in to lead the strategic repositioning of one of the most anticipated dining openings in the Scottsdale Waterfront — opening fall 2026. Hollywood pedigree meets desert hospitality: operating playbook, team build, and brand execution.
STK Steakhouse Scottsdale
From the floor to the operator's chair. Margin, throughput, food cost, labor cost — the back-of-house math that determines whether a great concept survives. Helped scale STK Scottsdale into one of the city's most recognizable steakhouses.
Proteinhouse
A different room, the same playbook. Healthy-kitchen concept scaled across Arizona. Take care of the team, the team takes care of the guest, the guest takes care of the bottom line — at lunchtime as much as on a Saturday night.
Hakkasan Nightclub
His Vegas marker. On the opening team for one of the most ambitious nightlife launches of the decade. Learned how the best rooms in the world run when nobody is watching — and how a team becomes the difference between a great night and an unforgettable one.
Independent operator advisor
Working alongside restaurant operators on the two things most rooms get wrong: where margin is quietly leaking, and how to keep the team that earns the next dollar. The room is the product. The team is the room.
