ENTREPRENEUR

Never worked a day in my life for anyone but myself. Always lived by the creed, “If it’s going to be its up to me”. I put my money where my mouth is and then I make it happen. I’m a boots on the ground guy who can see an opportunity. In great shape and can go 24-7.

I have spent the last 3 years getting a full and true understanding of the restaurant industry as a whole, with a particular emphasis on restaurant owners, customers and food distributors. I have learned their needs, desires, behaviors and how they interact with each other on a daily basis. With this knowledge, I have been able to identify numerous opportunities for the Yyppee platform.
