In 1976, at 17-years-old, I walked into my first day as a switchboard operator for a company that sold refrigerators. At least that's what I thought. What actually happened, I had stepped out of a fallen house and into the land of Oz. Only this Oz happened to be the hospitality industry. Through these years, I have made incredible friends. I have been given the opportunity to learn and teach. Each one of my successes was due to someone in this industry guiding me along. In return, I guide others. It is an industry that demands much but gives back more - It's an industry that will change one's life. It did mine.
