Biography
Always looking to place great people with clients and friends.

Love the Industry.

Worked fast casual, casual dining, bar and upscale casual dining before morphing myself and my career with a national hot-concept. Worked expansion world-wide before assisting with buy-out conversion. Wanted a different take on hospitality so I splintered out on my own in 2002...current focus: team and executive coaching, small to medium sized concepts.

My experiences in hospitality have provided opportunities for me to Climb Mt. Fuji, dive the Great Barrier Reef, Hike Volcano National Park and splunk (is that even a word) in Budapest, and meet my husband...4 continents, 16 countries, 46 US states and one baby girl later, life is still an adventure and getting better every day!

My husband Christian and I live in Mpls, MN with our daughter Alysia and our two cats golden & taz!

Denise, glad to hear from you...the kids all hit age milestones this year - Katrina is 21 (drinking age), Julianne is 18 (full-scale "adult"), Joshua is 16 (driving) and Lucy starts school in the fall. Add up their ages and it's 60, which is how I feel. Scary.

Great to see you are now on FOHBOH Darren! It's a pretty cool social networking site. All is fantastic. My little girl is already 1! We just took a trip out east - very fun. Business is great as well. We should connect one of these days soon...I have a great lead on some reasonably priced leadership training you may want to have some of your people go through...Let's talk soon, Denise

Hey D!

Thanks for asking me to join FOH BOH....I heard about this for the first time at the People Report QSR Symposium last week in Dallas, but had not signed up yet - your note sparked me into action!!

My best to you and your growing family! Talk soon.

I am working on a book and a cool product to launch into the hospitality field! Very cool stuff! New baby at home keeps me busy about every minute I am not working, she is a blast. Other than that coaching clients and consulting projects are non stop. One cool thing is a recipe spec book that combines cost which is fun and seems to help my client. SO...Tell me about this Perfect Beer class - sounds cool!

Well, I am so pleased that you asked that, because I love sharing :o)

I am getting ready to go help train the Perfect Beer at one of our stores this week. It will be my first store since I got certified as a corporate trainer and I am stoked!! Thank you for asking :o)

How about you? What do you have going on right now?

Denise! You absolutely have to make an excuse to come see me here in L.A. I don't have much reason to go to Minnesota these days... the company I am with does not have stores out there (yet..) I am with an amputee support group that sometimes has meetings there ... so that could be an excuse for me to get your way. But - it's so much warmer here! Don't vha want to come out? I missyou lots! Congrats on your little bundle of joy! Do you have pics of your kids? would love to see what little Denise's look like!
