“My philosophy is to shoot for the moon and beyond; even if I miss the moon, I’ll land among the stars. In the course of my career, I have learned over and over that in every difficulty, lies an opportunity and in every failure, there is a lesson learned.”

“Knowing the job is not enough; one must apply it. Will is not enough; one must take action and deliver it. Well done is better than well said.”

“Motivation is what gets me started; habit is what keeps me going. I do not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. It takes less time to do the right thing than it does to explain why you did it wrong. I believe in good, better, best. I never let it rest until good is better and better is BEST.”

“The Fundamentals of my success are my strong beliefs in respect, integrity, ambition, trust, and modesty. You never achieve real success unless you love what you are doing. Ability may get one to the top but it takes character to stay there. Character may be manifested in great moments, but it is built in the small ones. Promise only what you can deliver and then deliver more than you can promise.”

“I have great empathy for all the positions in Hotel Operations, especially those in the kitchen.  It is important to create a work and business environment that nurtures and values people; an environment in which every job and employee is treated with dignity and respect. The formation of a strong, talented and loyal team lies on their shared visions, goals and values.”
