“Simplify. Streamline. Succeed.” From consulting and coaching to ready-to-use templates — Reliance Hospitality Consulting helps you run smarter, not harder.

Born in Herford, Germany, I discovered my passion for food at an early age, helping my mother prepare traditional Christmas stollen, cakes, and cookies. By seven, I knew I wanted to become a chef. At sixteen I began my apprenticeship under Master Chef Burkhart Schroeder at one of Germany’s finest restaurants, Der Seehof Moehnesee in Guenne. Here I was trained in classic French cuisine, setting the foundation for the rest of my career.

Over the next decade, I refined my craft in Europe’s most prestigious five-star hotels and restaurants before taking my talents to the United States, where I became part of Las Vegas’s exciting culinary scene.

I'm recognized for my hands-on leadership, precision in execution, and ability to inspire culinary teams to achieve excellence. My expertise spans large-scale operations, concept development, menu engineering, and cost optimization, all driven by a passion for innovation, quality, and the guest experience. 

I’m not your typical high-priced consultant. I’ve worked everywhere from family-owned kitchens to world-class restaurants, and I know firsthand the challenges that come with both. My mission is to bring real-world, affordable solutions to the independent restaurants that the big consulting firms overlook. I believe every small business deserves the tools, systems, and support to thrive- without the $500 an hour price tag
