Welcome to my home page. This web site is designed as a launchpad for students and industry professionals to obtain current information relative to the hospitality industry. The site is currently under construction (more like a complete renovation), so please excuse the broken links and other annoying problems -- it iwill be summer '08 before I can fix all of them. So pour yourself a cup of coffee and browse around for awhile.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
