I’m a Henderson-based hospitality operator looking to partner with searchers, independent sponsors and investors buying or starting food and beverage or lodging businesses in Las Vegas. I want a real ownership role (sweat equity or profit share), not just a salary. What I bring (30+ years in F&B/Lodging leadership): Food & Beverage Director across seven Hyatt properties with full P&L, including restaurant openings in Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, Virginia and Toronto General Manager of Premium Services at Heinz Field (Aramark): 129 suites, 225+ events a year, a team of 50 Partner and Operations Director at Kimberley Ashlee & Co. for 10 years: catering, events and a multi-meal business-dining account; cut supply costs 12% a year Consulting on 12 restaurant startups and conversions Court of Master Sommeliers Level 2 Certified Sommelier; BA in Hospitality Management How I can help: operator due diligence before you sign an LOI (P&L add-backs, labor, beverage program, kitchen and equipment, loss prevention), transition leadership after closing, and long-term day-to-day operation. Through The Bench (thebenchlv.com), I can also put interim GMs, chefs and F&B directors in place during a handover. What I’m looking for: restaurants, bars, catering and event companies, boutique hotels and B&Bs, in Las Vegas or open to a traveling operator. I’m not interested in buy-ins, franchise fees or pay-to-play deals. I have the ability to have skin-in-the-game as well based on the needs. If you have a deal or a thesis that needs an operator, message me with a short note on the business and what role you have in mind. I’m also glad to give a quick operator’s read on any hospitality deal you’re looking at.
