Greeting by Mrs . Nina Brinker
My name is Nina Brinker , and I am pleased to share some background information . I am a Michigan native , having grown up in Ann Arbor . My career in the food and hospitality industry began at the esteemed Zingerman ’ s Deli , where I gained valuable foundational experience . Subsequently , I held various roles in the restaurant sector before assuming the position of Food and Beverage Director at Barton Hills Country Club , a role I held successfully for nine years . During this time , I also completed my American Culinary Federation ( ACF ) certifications at Washtenaw Community College .
Following my tenure at Barton Hills , I broadened my experience through a two-year position as Banquet Operations Director at Marriott . This corporate experience provided invaluable insights into largescale event management and operations . My career then progressed to The Picasso Restaurant Group , where , as Executive Vice President , I oversaw the operations of over 20 locations , leading a team of more than 60 managers and 300 employees . This role provided extensive leadership and management experience in a dynamic and fast-paced environment .
In 2020 , my husband , Ben , and I relocated to the delightful town of Atlanta , Michigan . We were drawn to the close-knit community and have since become active members . Our son , Andrew , is currently a junior in high school . We also own and operate The White Elk Coffeehouse , a local coffee shop ; we welcome you to visit us .
