| Experience | Bartender
Pub Fiction – Houston, Tx – October 2008 – July 2012 Eddie V’s Prime Seafood – Houston, Tx – July 2012 – December 2019
At each venue I was able to take on the role as the lead bartender to help the business succeed and perform at a high level. At Pub Fiction I was able to work my way up from door staff to bartender in a couple of months and later took on the role as a manager. I worked on my craft and later moved on to Eddie V’s where I became the lead bartender for the six and a half years, with nine months away working at Soma Sushi as the bar manager, and eventually returning to Eddie V’s. I was also able to maintain that role during my time as the General Manager of Shot Bar. Eddie Vs allowed me to get the fine dining experience I can currently use while working in a completely different environment.
Manager / General Manager
Pub Fiction – Houston, Tx – December 2010 – July 2012 Soma Sushi – Houston, Tx – July 2015 – March 2016
My roles as the lead bartender helped my transition to Manager to General Manger very smooth. As the lead bartender at Eddie Vs, I was able to work with a high standard that carried over very well when I started at Soma Sushi as the Bar Manager. My time there gave me even more knowledge in smaller environment that allowed me to take on more ownership in my work because I had taken on another role. This in return presented another opportunity to be the General Manager of Shot Bar, a well-known establishment in the heart of Midtown. Once again placed in a different, yet familiar environment in a new role has helped me in my current situations.
Consulting / Owner / Operator
ABD Hospitality, LLC – Reflect HTX – Houston, Tx – December 2019 – March 2020 ABD Hospitality, LLC – FAO HTX – Houston, Tx – February 2021 – Present
Reflect HTX – After many years of preparation and an opportunity to go into business with my fellow business partners presented itself. We acquired a venue in Midtown, The 3rd Floor, remodeled Fall 2019 to open our own concept, Reflect, in December 2019. Reflect was a boutique lounge that focused on creating quality cocktails with fresh ingredients at an efficient rate. Unfortunately, due to COVID we were forced to shut down operations.
FAO HTX – After reevaluating our situation and looking at the need for the area, we were able to come up with a concept that has adapted the identity of an Interactive Speakeasy Party Bar. At FAO, we aim to make our guest feel like a long time regular, even if it is their first time to visit us. Our guest can enjoy quality cocktails in a unique environment that offers games and plenty of Instagram worthy pics.
A&B Effect, LLC – To continue working in our passion, we have started a consulting company to help others with their dreams of owning and operating a bar. With our experience, we feel we can provide the knowledge to help others operate a successful bar. Along our journey, we have been able to understand what it takes to own and operate a thriving business in the Hospitality Industry.
