I currently reside in Port Angeles, WA, where I manage @ The Park Inn and on occasion promote music and art events. I've been an Olympic Peninsula resident for 26 years. My experience includes 40 years in the hospitality industry with focus on arts, entertainment, full service food/beverage service, and event management. Community ties, community tourism planning, and public service augment these experiences. These include long time board member of Port Townsend's Main Street Program and Port Townsend's LTAC. For fifteen years, I owned and operated Last Stage Company's Upstage Restaurant and Theatre in Port Townsend, WA. Upstage was a full service restaurant and venue that worked closely with lodging resources and community organizations. Included with this resume is a proclamation from the City of Port Townsend that describes the achievements and services my operations provided to the community. At Upstage, I produced, arranged, and coordinated events that drove sales for Upstage and drew visitors to the community. Events were conducted nearly 365 days a year for 15 years. Performing Arts talent included renowned national and international entertainers as well as community participants. My industry experience has always generated regular and positive media coverage - from urban and local newspapers, to the Hometown Hero series of American Profile publications, to USA today. I mention media coverage because it is highly relevant to maintaining and generating tourism and the funding that supports tourism, Before Upstage, I managed and/or owned special event wine operations.
