When I stopped playing, I was like, 'I can't sit there and do nothing.' I want to get up and I don't want it to feel like it's my job - I want it to feel like something I'm really passionate about, something I really want to do, because I feel like that's when you excel.
My favorite thing to do is travel and dine with friends. And we've made it our business.
You're rubbing shoulders with all these people, and they're like, 'Hey, I want to help you do this.' Making these connections provides me with the same juice as when I was playing ball.
My career before hospitality was in finance. I was in my comfort zone when the opportunity came about to jump ship. It was tough, but I felt something pulling me in that direction.
