Director of Operations

Reuben Sliva

Reuben comes from an extensive restaurant background including owning and operating Reuben’s Smokehouse and Catering from 2010 until the business sold in 2016. During that time he was awarded the 40 under 40 award from Gulf Shore Business as well as being ranked 4th in the nation for his Fort Myers based restaurant.
