"Where are you from?" is not a question I hear very often. Raised on 18th Street in downtown New York City, it is usually no problem for people to identify the accent and the attitude. However, having moved to Southern California 15 years ago, I am proud to call South Orange County home!

I have been in the Food and Beverage industry for the better part of the past 40 years, holding jobs from dishwasher to bartender to owner/operator of my own restaurant in Kingston, NY. I moved to Palm Desert in 1996 and have not looked back since. After working at The La Quinta Cliffhouse and then Tommy Bahama's in Palm Desert and Corona del Mar, I took a brief hiatus from F&B and went into Real Estate. Finding that the mortgage business was not my calling, In 2007, I was lucky enough to be hired as the Service Director here at Coto de Caza and promoted to Assistant General Manager in 2010.

I am looking forward to a long a prosperous career with Clubcorp and feel blessed to be able to work for such a wonderful membership as we have here at Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club!
