“This honor is incredibly humbling. Never would I have imagined when I started out as a busboy in Brooklyn, New York at age 13 that the countless voluntary acts of goodwill that come so naturally to those of us in hospitality could ripple into something so meaningful, globally. Service is at the heart of hospitality, and hospitality is at the heart of community and friendship.”
