Aloha,
Great article on the continuing reduction of the carbon footprint of cattle vs 40 years ago

The general public it seems to…

- Biography
- Restaurateur, entrepreneur and investment professional with over 25 years of progressively complicated experience resulting in a fair amount of gray hair. Some winners; others, not so much.
I love to combine online social media with my passion for the restaurant, food and beverage industries. This has resulted in an interesting career spanning over 25 years.
As a restaurateur, I've developed dozens and dozens of concepts, owned five, managed many and sold a few. I have advised chains, CEO's, CFO's, COO's, celebrity chefs and entrepreneurs on matters relating to growth, investment, development, franchising and finance.
As investment banker, I have over 150 transactions under my belt working in Asia, Europe and the U.S. Whew!
As manager, I've held C-level operations and finance positions at fast growing, high-profile chains and as the chief-cook-and-bottle-washer at a few of my own restaurants too. I understand what it takes to make a payroll, work the line, serve customers, make a perfect Martini and close a restaurant at 4 AM.
