Brief Description of Yourself:
I am a native Floridian, born and raised in Orlando, FL. I started working in the hospitality industry after high school and after a few years of bartending, I decided to join the Army. I served on active duty for four years and then began a career as a Wine Program Director at a boutique wine shop in Central Florida. After several years in wine retail and a year in restaurant management, I was fortunate enough to land a position with Bevinco of Jacksonville, FL and the rest is history.
Why did you purchase your Bevintel franchise?
I chose this franchise for a couple of reasons, but the most important one stemmed from a desire to own a business that would yield satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. My time and experience with Bevinco of Jacksonville, FL really solidified my interest in the company and I knew that as soon as I finished my degree I would pursue a franchise opportunity. I also have a very keen understanding of the hospitality industry, but I do not enjoy the long hours and nights. This franchise allows me to operate within the hospitality industry, but from a service provider’s point of view.
Brief Description of Yourself:
I am a 52 year old guy who enjoys being outdoors, skiing, saltwater fishing on my boat and working on my home. I’m a sports fan, particularly hockey and football. I enjoy travelling and spending time with my wife, Kim.
I was a former business owner and recently sold that business to start my "second" career.
Why did you purchase your Bevintel franchise?
After selling my former business, I was looking for a business that would allow me some freedom and fit my lifestyle. I did not want a business that was tied to a physical address or one that involved commuting. I also did not want to manage many full time employees nor did I want to deal with the general public or the consumer. I needed a business that offered me income potential but was also manageable in size and in expenses. The Bevintel model seemed to fit all these requirements. I look forward to finding out where I will take it and where it may take me.
Brief Description of Yourself:
I am a 26 year old guy who enjoys spending time with my wonderful family and my wife, Summer. I love fast cars and riding my motorcycle any chance I get, if I could ride my motorcycle to audits with all my equipment I would. I love the outdoors, camping, hiking, and shooting. I have for the past 2 years worked for the regional partner Lee Morris as a senior auditor.
Why did you purchase your Bevintel franchise?
I worked as a senior auditor for Bevintel for the past 2 years and saw a huge opportunity to make a lot of money. Besides the monetary value of owning the franchise, I love the relationships that we develop with our clients. We become a necessity to their business and they feel a partnership with us.
