Where It All Started
At the age of 15, I landed my first job as a dishwasher at a small mom-and-pop Italian restaurant in Malden, Massachusetts. Over the next 3 years, I worked my way up the ranks as a busboy, waiter, and then eventually a chef's assistant. In college, I became a bartender and worked at several of the area's nightclubs, golf courses, restaurants, and ski resorts. It was in these few influential years that I learned the art of food and entertainment and dreamt of having my own bar, a place where people can enjoy themselves, relax, and have fun.
I grew up on the North Shore of Boston, but my dad and I loved to spend time in the mountains of New Hampshire. During the summer, my dad and I would head north to go camping, swimming, hiking, biking and boating. We liked to take advantage of what this great area had to offer: One year, we even climbed Mount Washington! As I got older, we continued to head up to the area to camp, bike and run around the mountains. I remember one time my dad got a flat tire biking 50 miles out, and I had to go all the way back, get the car and come back and get him.
Now that I have 2 teenage boys, I want them to experience special times like these that I had with my dad in the valley. This is why I bought Club 550 and turned it into The O Club®. Please come in and have a drink with us!
After retiring from 24 years of service in the Air Force, it's time to make this dream a reality. I would love for you to help me celebrate!
