Store Manager

I am an entrepreneur and the Managing Director of Nightlife Investment Group, where I focus on luxury hospitality, large-scale real estate development, and property acquisition. With a career rooted in the hospitality and fine dining industry, I serve as a public figure and consultant dedicated to restructuring industry economics to favor worker ownership and community equity. In addition to my work in property development—including the master planning of luxury resort campuses and historical property preservation—I am the owner and operator of the "wtf happened to fine dining" blog and podcast. My professional background also includes extensive experience in high-profile event planning and catering for organizations like the Boka Catering Group, where I manage service and logistics for extravagant weddings and elite events at premiere venues. I specialize in utilizing data-driven systems for hospitality management, focusing on supply chain analytics and operational efficiency to bridge the gap between culinary excellence and sustainable business models.
