- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My career started in the private country club industry where I developed my skills in culinary arts and front of the house dining services while learning the fundamentals of the hospitality industry like operations, budgeting and guest services after attending Vincennes University for Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management. Plenty of weddings, bar/bat mitzvas, sweet sixteenâs, fundraisers, galas and corporate events were my building blocks into this fascinating hospitality industry. My desire for this industry moved me to Chicago where I managed some of the best known Chicago restaurants like Lloyd's Chicago & Rivers American Bistro in the financial district and Bistro 110 on the Magnificent Mile. Also during my career in Chicago I catered at some of the best venues like The Chicago Field Museum, The Peggy Notebart Nature Museum, Trump Towers, The Ritz Carlton and countless others. My efforts won me the Best Corporate Event award by N.I.C.E while employed at Chicago Travel Consultants, one of the best innovative destination / event planning companies in Chicago. I always wanting to move somewhere warm and being a Chicago Cubs fan (don't judge me as I am loyal beer garden fan). I would visit Arizona while attending the spring training games. In 2009, I moved to Arizona and entered the hotel hospitality industry where I do sales and marketing for a local hotel group. Wanting to do something in addition to my career and satisfy my creative side Marvin (my partner) and I established Eternal Event Design, LLC. Providing great event services while meeting our aspiration to be small business leaders within the local Arizona community is our goal. Eternal Event Design, LLC is built on the promise to provide our clients with superior customer service with attention to detail, at the best budget possible while delivering a memorable and fabulous event!
