Restaurant & Nightclub operations – Privacies/Club Eite – 1996
This was a proposed large-scale ambitious project for the Hollywood/Highland complex next to the Chinese Theater when the project was nothing more than a 2 story deep hole in the ground. Through my efforts I was able to arrange an audience with the developers at Trizec-Hahn where we pitched the idea and proposed taking over the top two floors on the corner of Hollywood/Highland, over 45,000 sq. ft of restaurant and nightclub space. So impressed were the developers with my business plan and our concept that they chose us over Wolfgang Puck and Quincy Jones for the space. We had secured big names to perform at the club (Jewel was to perform opening night). Unfortunately, before we got any further the $20mil in funding that we had previously secured dropped out and we were forced to relinquish out claim on the site.

Supervised Visitation Services – Balanced Supervision Services 2014-2015
This was an organization which I founded but was not involved in beyond its establishment. My efforts resulted in this organization being the sole named company authorized to provide supervised visitation services in San Luis Obispo County for several years. They essentially held a monopoly on the business as every court order for supervised visitation named them alone as the authorized provider. Once established I turned over the reigns to the people who ran it as for me to be involved would have been a conflict because I had several clients in need of such services.
