CURRENT PROJECT - Rehabilitation of the WING ZONE franchise restaurant in Knoxville, TN. The store has suffered from improper management, sales have fallen by over 40% and I have accepted the challenge of revitalizing and re-energizing this popular quick-serve restaurant. Our short term goal is to raise sales to a $10K per week level in 2010 and to $725K in calendar year 2011.........
1996-2010... Entered the hospitality industry, started in Guest Services, moved up into the Marketing Department, established retail sales center at prominent local resort, refurbished security protocol for rental cabins. Have served as Marketing Director, General Manager and Licensed Property Manager at new local resort property.
Prior to 1996... A variety of experiences including the Advertising Specialty industry, having clients such as the Knoxville Museum of Art, the American Contract Bridge League and the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. Early in my career, before 1990, I was in retail management, serving as Store Manager for Kay Jewelers, JB Robinson Jewelers and as Store Manager, then District Manager for Gordon's Jewelers.
I have developed a real fondness for the World Wide Web, and with that fondness has come a certain skill in Webmastery. Since 1998, it has been my pleasure and privilege to work with several local Companies in the Hospitality Industry, serving as Webmaster and, in two cases, start up consultant as well.
