Region All Commercial barge Management Overview
Qualified and experienced as a chef, I have also held positions in Management, Business & Development, Troubleshooting and Marketing & Promotions.
In these roles I have enjoyed working within a team or independently.
I have sound business principles, and an ability to interpret situations,
trends and people. I have also been an Owner and Developer of Hospitality & Tourism Business. I am use to positions that are challenging and require extraordinary skills and abilities. My diverse skills have been developed through extensive experience within the Tourism-Hospitality, Major Sports Events (including INDY, V8 Supercars & The Pan Am Games); as well as experience in Tourism/Hospitality Business & Property Development and The Film & Television Industries; both locally and internationally. I am recognised as approachable, companionate, with extraordinary intuition and initiative.
Chef Overview:
My love of food and hospitality grew from the influences of the European Australian migrants, inter weaved with my European Ancestry. Cooking, entertaining and caring for people is a passion richer than the formal courses I have done. It consists of a domestic and professional joy to create stylish environments that allows me (and my team) a social extension to spoil and play with peoples senses.
