Founder

Faros

Jul 2023 - Current (3 years 1 month)

FAROS is a no-fluff mentorship platform for founders, hospitality leaders, and future GMs navigating real business, real growth, and real life. Built for people tired of abstract advice and soft-focus coaching, FAROS delivers grounded, battle-tested guidance from someone who’s still in the arena—running companies, building teams, fixing chaos. After 30 years in the industry—and nearly 50 figuring myself out—I’ve decided to dedicate a substantial part of my time to being for others the mentor I needed, and eventually became, for myself. No ego. No fluff. Just real help, when it matters most. This isn’t hype. It’s not self-help theater. It’s structured mentorship for people who want to lead better, build better, and move forward—faster.
