Applicant’s Statement
The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling, grammar and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the applicant on the City Questionnaire.
I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I was born in Phoenix in 1966. I graduated from Brophy College Preparatory in 1984. I graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1989 with a Finance degree. I worked for the government as a FDIC Bank Examiner for approximately one year after graduating from NAU. After which, I worked for myself buying and selling Real Estate for my personal Investment portfolio. To date, I have accumulated over 50 rental properties that I self manage in Phoenix, Mesa and Tempe. I work with many of the low income housing programs offered through the City of Phoenix and Tempe by helping families qualify to rent my properties. In November of 2010, I purchased a 16.5 percent interest in the Candy Store. I was found to be capable, reliable and qualified to be added as an owner to the Candy Store's Liquor license. I was also vetted by the City Council members and Liquor Department at the time. The Candy Store has a very clean record with no liquor violations in the past 10 years. I also currently have over 10 years of Adult Use experience helping the other owners manage the Candy Store. In March of 2017, I purchased 25 percent of Centerfolds Cabaret. Centerfolds Cabaret also has Adult use, but does not currently have an active liquor license. I am one of two Co-managing members that operate Centerfolds Cabaret. We have been open for over three years with no violations. I addition, I have had three more years of Adult Use managing this business. In February of 2021, I received approval for a new liquor license at Crazy Girls Cabaret located 1926 W. Deer Valley Road, Phoenix, AZ 85027. Crazy Girls Cabaret has a very clean record with no liquor violations. In June of 2022, I received approval for a new liquor license at Rush Gentlemen's Club located at 910 North McClintock Drive Tempe, AZ 85281. I am active in neighborhood and civil events and consider myself a good citizen of Phoenix. I am a responsible business man. I am capable, reliable and qualified to be on another liquor license. I have completed both Basic and Management Title 4 Training. Crazy Girls Cabaret is an established business. This change is strictly to remove one member and add on a new member. Business operations will remain the same.”
