Bringing amazing people in Nashville to focus for a one on one. People related to the industry that stand out and are true champions that represent all the positives, for both the guests they interact with, coworkers they work with, owners and managers they work for. They impart an amazing presence and make this world a better and fun place to live in.
We start off this column with an individual that should be my first to spotlight. We worked together first at Noelle and he possessed a fun yet professional attitude. Guests and coworkers alike marveled and loved his boisterous personality. He then moved on to the Downtown Sporting club, opened Choppers, worked again with me at Moxy on Broadway before settling on Acme Feed & Seed. Currently unemployed due to the Covid Pandemic, no doubt if he doesn’t return to Acme, you’ll see him soon at the most hip bar to be at. Introducing Marty Griffin a.k.a. Aquaman, the Phillipino Superman, Polynesian Playboy, the Barmeister of Broadway. Click below to see the video interview with Marty Griffin. Also follow him on Instagram: @martyg38
