Behind My Decision to Leave the Restaurant Industry to Join Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa

​​​​​​​After 20 plus years in the restaurant industry serving as an operator and developer, an investor, a consultant and an industry leader and advocate, I’ve chosen to make a career shift. Earlier this August I joined Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa as the brand’s president and chief development officer. While the restaurant industry will always hold a special place in my heart, I’m excited to grow into and help develop the continued success of the health and wellness industry.
