We wish him the best in his future endeavors!
Chad Estis: Executive Vice President, Dallas Cowboys
During my tenure as President, On Site Products at Live Nation Entertainment, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Michael in his role at Legends Hospitality. Michael was an instrumental leader in the conversion of Live Nation’s amphitheaters from the previous concessionaire to the Legends organization. His leadership, project management skills and subject matter expertise made the conversion a frictionless experience. Throughout the time that we worked together, Michael was the role model of a responsive business partner. Our agendas were consistently aligned, he understood our business, and he took risks that made both of our respective businesses better. Michael’s out of the box, innovative approach to the food and beverage industry was a refreshing addition to a business segment that is frequently overlooked, under-appreciated and behind the times in. its’ ability to meet an evolving client and fan base. Personally, Michael’s tremendous integrity, diligent work ethic and upbeat, positive, genuine demeaner made it a true pleasure to work with him.”
Brian Yost: Former President Live Nation On Site Products
Michael is the strongest, most knowledgeable food service operator I have ever had the pleasure to know and work with. From Super Bowls, World Series, festivals, major functions, revamping and designing of concession areas and the creation of Fine Dining experiences, I have never meet anyone more intelligent, more focused, more strategic; but most importantly, more successful than Michael. He is honest and will always tell you what needs to be said, not what someone wants to hear. He is unflappable when the pressure is on. He never loses sight of relationships. He works easily with ownership and effortlessly transitions to working with team members and employees."
