ABOUT US

Aside from working nearly every position available, Love has spent the latter decade managing some of South Beach’s most famous multi-million dollar hot spots such as SkyBar, Opium Garden, Prive, the Rooftop of the Gansevoort Hotel and The Soho Beach House's Bar program to name a few.

This experience shaped Love's vision for the DoorMetrics ID Scanner system and is helping drive the company to new heights and other related industries.
