In late 2003, I found myself “chefless” heading into another hectic season. I called upon my good friend George Savarda for direction who suggested my contacting David Meyers Associates to assist me in my search. “Assist” was a mild understatement, as David did everything! After my initial call, David was in my office within a week, interviewing me to assure the right fit for my team, our 100 year old club and its membership. David presented me with a manageable and all qualified number of candidates, all of which were most doable choices. The difficult task was trimming that list, which was made much easier by David as he said focused to the greater business objectives throughout. The final exercise came down to two well-respected Executive Chefs. Both candidates hit home runs! Ultimately, I selected Ken Thompson, CEC, PCIII and to this day, he has never disappointed. We are a better Club because of Chef Thompson by way of David's reach and bringing him to the club.  It is my sincere hope that I never have to use David’s services again, but should Chef Thompson leaves me to return home to Cherokee T&CC, I would quickly call my friend David without thought.
