With 40 years in the hospitality industry, from dishwasher, line cook, server, bartender, private chef (on a boat), sous chef, executive chef, independent restaurant owner, chain restaurant general manager, business consultant, ice cream maker and indoor farmer. The journey has been a wonderful ride. These have created a management & work style that is as diverse as the experiences, a style to fit the moment and team. The years have given a pragmatic yet respectful outlook on the industry that has given me so much. Our success is being tested everyday with each client and candidate interview and hire. Those in the Hospitality, Customer Service, or with any customer interactions know that your success is based on these moments of truth. I look forward to bringing this philosophy and body of work to Patrice & Associates as a Franchise Owner in Canton, CT.

Since my first job as a paperboy, first long term goal of Eagle Scout, entrance into Michigan State University, Eli Board School of Business, is that my team is the most important resource that we have, as leaders in the business world.
The values of Patrice & Associates fit perfectly with mine.

Our future clients are not pressured; our team invites them to see us in action, proving that we follow our proven method “The Patrice Way” and it works. How does our method differ, first and foremost we find the candidates that are not on job boards; yes, we still make calls, recruiting calls.

Thus, ensuring your investment with Patrice & Associates has results.
Our strength at Patrice & Associates is we believe!

Just as in baseball, there are levels of success at different career stages, all with their own “A” team, we make these connections happen. Career coaching with resources to help those candidates make the moves to get to the “A” team for our clients.

I had the pleasure of working with Dave during my recent job search, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he was incredibly attentive, taking the time to understand my background, skills, and career goals. His guidance and advice were not only relevant but also instrumental in helping me navigate the job market effectively.
