Travis MaierDirector of Catering & EventsJeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment

I'm just a regular guy who has had an amazing life in the hospitality industry. I was literally born into it! I've had some really cool experiences: working in Spain at a Michelin 3-Star, moving to NYC with what I could fit in my car, opening (and closing) a couple passion projects, and spending the majority of my career with the iconic Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment brand in various roles.

I love to try new things, learn quickly from my mistakes, and I'm not afraid to shake things up.
