After a long and successful career teaching and producing theatre as the Artistic Director for Santa Cruz Performing Arts, I decided it would be fun and lucrative to subsidize my artistic endeavors with some part-time work bartending.
I feel the organization, performance, and public speaking skills I've learned and taught, along with my restaurant experience, translate well to the hospitality/beverage industry.
Working with the children of the highly-educated professionals of Santa Cruz, I've had to balance the egos of parents and children alike, whilst keeping an eye on the big picture as well as the bottom line.
