I help restaurants, particularly in the SMB (small to medium) category. They can’t always afford a full time CFO, F&B Director etc. I bring vast, interdisciplinary experience and problem solving to smaller companies.

I don’t want to work 60+ hours anymore. It’s a great industry but at this point in my life I don’t want to be tied directly to a store and don’t have the purse to be investing/speculating.

If you’re passionate and want to open one, do it! They are demanding but also very rewarding. Check out my blog sections for stories, industry takes and commentary for more details and current climate for business.

Self published industry books and obviously my blog writings. I am not an English major and try to impart my spoken tone into my writings.

These may soon be accompanied by YouTube videos to help pace out my persistent use of security commas.

If it seems a little disorganized, the honest truth is that, this is my life right now. I live between Chicago & Lima, want to publish a cookbook, refine my writing and continue helping SMB Restaurants. So ignore what doesn’t interest you.

You can reach me anytime via the contact page & points. I am typically in CST and try to answer inquiries ASAP. If there’s a big gap, I might be on a flight to Lima.
