A passionate food and web technology expert, WebTV producer & filmmaker, entrepreneur, speaker, global event creator, author, and mentor for the restaurant and hospitality space. I connect consumers, technology and brands to help invoke the next shift in business for restaurant and hospitality.

Food is a passion shared by many. Technology, Social and Mobile have shifted the business landscape forever, as an industry trend-spotter and founder of FastCasual.com, QSRWeb.com, and DigitalCoCo, I have spent the past 20 years studying restaurants and consumer interactions within the indusry.

In Spetember 2013 we launch FoodableTV.com a new era if food media for operators and foodies alike.

My goal is simple: to connect the new age consumer and restaurant operator with content, and social connectivity to change the hospitality industry.

Additionally, we have created the most expansive Social Media Index for the global restaurant & hospitality business, an industry that represents more than $1.5 trillion in revenue, with digital connections to consumers and trade hovering around the $5 billion mark in 2012. The Restaurant Social Media Index combined with a new model of content, social audience and social science will help to help define our future in hospitality.

As the author of the first book on the Fast Casual Restaurant business and how it connects with this new consumer culture, The Chipotle Effect is about the changing landscape of the American social restaurant consumer. We’re entering a new frontier of social consumers, big data and content that will Change The Way America Eats.
