Hawthorn Woods CC is private gated community club owned by KemperSports. I was very pleased when I received approval to have David Meyers assist me with our search for an Executive Chef. David worked extremely well with our National F&B Director and my Executive VP. The tasting process David suggested was outstanding and enabled us to quickly choose the best candidate. He found both local and national talent that could meet my hiring deadline. Our new Executive Chef has brought our costs down while listening to the member’s needs and executing new ideas for these difficult economic times.
