Experience in the restaurant industry:
With 15 years experience, Cameron's parents had the first floating hamburger stand in Miami, where he started as a cashier at the ripe old age of 10. It all went down hill from there - he worked at restaurants through college, but then took a break and published a magazine in Arizona.  His heart remained in the restaurant industry having always found it fun, rewarding, and ever-changing. He began his tenure with Dionysus Hospitality Group as a server at the Lion's Den in Vail almost 9 years ago, and has since worked in every one of our restaurants in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. As Director of Operations, Cameron oversees all of the Dionysus restaurants, and heavily involved opening the last 5 restaurants for the company.
