18 years in pizza business including 12 yrs owner-operator of multi location chain. 10 years owner-operator of 6-screen cinema Expert in on-hands dispassionate management. filmmaker/writer
With a degree in psychology, I opened my first business (a pizza restaurant) at 23. A second location came a year later eventually expanding to 5 separate locations. I did this for 12 years, then a few years after I, with some friends, re-opened a shuttered 6-screen movie theater and ran it for 10 years. It grew in market share every single year eventually competing head to head with an AMC. I am now pursuing screenwriting and filmmaking.
My time opening and running businesses taught me the skills and strategy of dispassionate management. What's that you ask? Call me and find out. ;) What I can tell you is that my teams were effective, efficient, and energetic. When I run into a former employee they frequently tell me I was the best boss they ever had and miss their time working for me.
I can also help you with start-up strategies and ideas.
