Seeking new challenges, John left a very successful career in law enforcement to open his first restaurant in 1982. John and the restaurant business were a good match. The Seahorse Tavern quickly became one of the region's favorite dining spots. John developed an excellent reputation in local business circles and additional opportunities soon presented themselves. Ultimately, over the course of 20 years, John owned and operated four different independent restaurants in the southeastern Connecticut region. In 2003 John retired from the restaurant business, opting for a more traditional work schedule, and took a position as the Director of Marketing for a multi-million dollar company which manufactured and distributed specialized plastic products. Just before teaming up with Mark Travis to form Travis & Hewes, John worked for a short time as a sales representative for a major food broker in the Northeast. Combined, these experiences give John a perspective characterized by the toughness and integrity of a law enforcement official, a full understanding of an end users' viewpoint and know-how in the fields of marketing, manufacturing, sales and distribution. This is a unique perspective that John uses to the full advantage of the clients of Travis & Hewes. |
