Who do you work for and what is your position in the company?   

NOLA DMC. I am the Owner & CEO.

How long have you been in the hospitality industry?  

I have been in the hospitality industry since 2000.

What is your favorite part about your job?

I love sharing my love of my City and showing clients the abundance of what New Orleans has to offer. When I’m parading through the city with clients, immersing them in our culture and watching them experience the magic of New Orleans, I feel more joy than you could ever imagine. Almost every day, through these experiences we create here at NOLA DMC, I turn to someone and say “I LOVE MY JOB!”

What are some of your favorite restaurants in the city?

There are so many amazing restaurants, but if I had to limit it to a few I would say: Clancy’s, Bombay Club, Jacques-Imos, and Katie’s.

If you could go to dinner with 3 people who would they be?

Dave Ramsey, Ellen DeGeneres, and my father (who passed away in 2017).

Do you have any pets?

Yes, 2 rescues. Weezy is a 10 year old male Shitzu and Crayon is a 1 ½ year old female Catahoula.

How long have you been with MPI?

I have been a member with MPI since 2004.

What are your favorite things to do on the weekend?

If I am not with clients celebrating my passion for this City, you can find me with my family enjoying the weather and whichever festivals and food come with that current season.
