Growing up, quite literally, in the back of our family restaurant in Michigan since before I could walk, restaurants have always been in my DNA. I used to come home from school and go straight to the family shop to help with dishes, cook, serve, or work the register. I learned many principles like work ethic, sacrifice, and humility. Serving others was instilled into me at a very young age and is a core value of mine to this day. The business behind the restaurant had always intrigued me, so I studied Management at Central Michigan University. I followed that curiosity to stops including managing concessions at a Minor League Baseball stadium to managing multi-unit independent restaurants.

Some of the many reasons I was drawn to Double R Restaurant Group are the company’s roots in genuine Southern Hospitality, the passion for our people including our team and guests, and the made from scratch food and cocktail offerings. My passions include cooking, leadership, teaching and coaching, so it’s a very natural and perfect fit with Double R Restaurant Group. I love developing our people and seeing them grow and reach their potential. “Leaders Eat Last” is a quote I heard some years ago that has stuck with me and embodies what I strive for, to make sure everyone from guests to our team members are happy and taken care of before myself. I’m excited to be a part of such a great company and look forward to seeing you at one of our locations!

I have been in the hospitality industry my entire life. I began bussing tables at the age of sixteen and quickly fell in love with the fast paced environment the industry had to offer. I've had the luxury of working almost every position in the restaurant while doing so in fine dining, full service & QSR. After being born and raised in Michigan, I have also lived in Arizona and North Carolina. I enjoy developing people into great leaders through empowering the people who work for me, being fully engaged in their needs, utilizing systems & procedures, building staff morale, and raising the standard on customer satisfaction.

I started my journey with Double R in May 2019. I was very interested in Another Broken Egg because of its scratch kitchen concept. Great food is an extreme passion of mine as well as spending time with my wife & two children, sports & anything outdoors. I was happy that Double R offered a good work/life balance opportunity that shared the same core values that I too have been taught throughout my career. Putting people first is something that Double R preaches and I'm a firm believer that having the right people is the key to success. I am proud to work for a company who values & appreciates the people who work day in and day out to make our customers leave with a smile on their faces. 

My hospitality career started early. I have been in the industry for most of my adult life and find it to be both exciting and rewarding. The fact that I was given the opportunity to start my career with Double R Restaurant Group as a General Manager of our first Another Broken Egg Cafe South Florida location, on the island of Siesta Key Beach, has been a life changing experience. I have been fortunate to work with a great team in Siesta Key, and that commitment from that team has allowed me to grow to my current role. That team continues to be committed to excellent operations and building the brand.  As we continued to grow our team and consistently deliver results in Siesta Key, we became a Certified Training Store.  I am privileged to have trained and built relationships with many of our managers through the training program.   With the growth of Double R,  I was recognized for my hard work and dedication, becoming a District Manager and, most recently, a Territory Manager of West Florida.  

I originally sought to work at Another Broken Egg Cafe for the quality of life and found much more with Double R. The hours of operation for ABE allow me to be with my son every night for dinner and bedtime.  I have found a true work/life balance and, for that, I am forever grateful!  My passion for Double R extends to our commitment to exceptional service, quality food and the growth of our people.  No day is ever the same in the restaurant business, but through hard work and dedication Double R does offer a path to success. I am so thrilled to be a part of an amazing company!

My life in the hospitality business began as soon as I could get a job.  As long as I can remember I have been serving guests.  During my time as a student at Louisiana State University I worked in restaurants learning everything I could about the business including bussing tables, serving, prepping food, and bartending.  I graduated in 2001 with a degree in Marketing and was quickly recruited by a college friend to stay within the industry.  In 2003 I began my career with Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers. 

Over 14 years with Raising Cane’s I moved up the ranks from an Hourly Manager and eventually to Regional Vice President.  During my time I was able to lead the Operations of over 90 restaurants, 6 Area Directors, and lead Franchise Operations all while directly working with the support office and the executive team to drive successful and profitable restaurants.

Early 2019 I felt led to search for an opportunity where I could share my experience with a new team and give back to others.  If I learned anything in my career it is that people are our greatest asset, and I cannot be any prouder to be part of an organization like Double R that shares my passion for people.  Here at Double R we offer great work-life balance paired with a great culture and a passion for excellence.
