It is with great pleasure that we introduce Trump National’s new Assistant General Manager, Jennifer Croce. She is originally from Middletown, NY. Jennifer started her hospitality career as a temp for Mr. Donald Trump when his assistant was on a medical leave. She was then a temp for Mr. Trump’s SVP of Hotel Operations & Casino Marketing, Jeff Ross. Jennifer was then hired full-time to revamp Trump Air and Limo with SVP of Fleet Operations, Skip Fipp. She knew immediately that hospitality was her calling and started on her academic path. Jennifer earned a Bachelor of Science degree with distinction from Cornell University’s prestigious School of Hotel Administration where she was honored as the 13th recipient of the esteemed Joseph Drown Prize. She additionally holds two Associate of Applied Science degrees with high honors; the first in Hotel Management and Professional Chef with the second in Computer Programming and Information Systems. After graduation, Jennifer didn’t rest on her laurels, but instead jumped right into the hospitality industry. Jennifer ran high-end and high-volume kitchens, restaurants, banquets and in-room dining operations at Trump Casino Services and Resorts Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ, The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, FL and Ritz Carlton in Naples, FL and Bachelor Gulch, CO. In 2003, Jennifer discovered the wonderful world of private clubs and never looked back. She ran high-end exclusive clubs nationwide including the Denver Country Club in Denver, CO, The Everglades Club in Palm Beach, FL, Morgan Run Resort and Club in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills, NY, and Lakewood Country Club in Rockville, MD. When the economy took a turn, Jennifer quickly shifted gears and became a turn-around specialist who went on to improve service, processes and profitability at the Governors Club in Tallahassee, FL, Losantiville Country Club in Cincinnati, OH, Agawam Hunt Club in Rumford, RI and West Hills Country Club in Middletown, NY to name of few. In these positions, Jennifer was fortunate to be groomed by industry leaders such as Donald Trump, Bill Marriott, Wolfgang Puck and Certified Master Chef Lawrence McFadden. In addition to refining her culinary and service skills, Jennifer also focused on sales, marketing, social media and membership growth. She led the charge of marketing and selling memberships, tournament sales and private events for the grand opening of Little River Resort and Club just outside of Pinehurst, NC. She was responsible for sales and execution of private events for a very discreet and exclusive membership at the prestigious Everglades Club in Palm Beach, FL. To ensure a successful opening, Jennifer was even called upon as the opening Director of Sales and Conference Services at the esteemed Lockheed Martin Center for Leadership Excellence just outside of Washington, DC. Jennifer has some very distinguished career achievements. She earned the MVP Award for Sage Hospitality Management Essentials 101 & Behavioral Interviews, SAS’s Operator of the Year, Ritz Carlton’s Leadership Essentials & Labor Management Standards Award and Hilton Performance for Excellence Award. Always in search of knowledge, she earned fourteen certificates from the National Restaurant Association and the American Hotel & Motel Association. Her desire to further the industry led her to become a recruiter for Cornell University’s future industry leaders. And, true to her field, Jennifer belongs to numerous professional associations including the Club Advisory Council Internationale, Private Club Professionals, Private Club Membership and Marketing, Social Media and Private Club Management, Cornell Center for Hospitality Research, Ivy League Network, Food and Beverage Cost Group, Golden Key International Honour Society and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. Finally, Jennifer is a certified Mystery Shopper for hotels, restaurants, theatres, retail outlets, private clubs and entertainment venues nationwide. Welcome aboard Jennifer!
It is with great pleasure that we introduce to membership our new Executive Chef, Armando Roma. Armando is a passionate chef who worked in a family owned restaurant for over 20 years. He helped his family develop and remodel a brand new building from the ground up and transitioned it to a high-volume operation. Chef Armando was involved in all aspects of the restaurant and catering venue including cooking, menu creation, managing and negotiating with food and liquor vendors. Chef Armando spent a majority of his career in local private yacht, golf and country clubs. He has a knack for getting his finger on the pulse of the membership and delivering the culinary experience that members desire. Chef Armando’s club career started at Round Hill Country Club in Greenwich, CT working alongside Executive Chef Bruce Eghal. He learned the art of controlling food cost, writing creative menus and creating a collaborative culinary team. Armando’s career quickly advanced when he accepted the Sous Chef position at Silver Spring Country Club in Ridgefield, CT. Chef Armando was tasked with executing creative daily specials, exciting weekly menus, refreshing poolside treats and large banquet functions. As his career continued to advance, Chef Armando joined the amazing culinary team at GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills, NY. As Jr. Sous chef, he was hired to create unique dishes for private member events and outings. After working side by side with Executive Chef Carey Favreau, Armando’s talents were quickly recognized and he moved on to oversee member a la carte dining and specialty events. Most recently, Armando was the Executive Sous Chef at the Stamford Yacht Club where he oversaw the main dining room chefs as well as a banquet operation for an extremely busy dining club. Outside of the club business, one of Armando’s greatest experiences was working with Executive Chef Frank Crispo at Crispo in NYC. In this position, Armando was taught how to think creatively, work quickly and run an efficient operation. Chef made fresh pasta daily and learned the art of taking traditional recipes and giving them a new-age twist. In fact, Armando’s references boasted about his ability to think outside of the box and create amazing flavors that tantalize the taste buds. Chef Armando’s main goal is to provide a dining experience that Trump National Westchester members can be proud of once again. Please join us in providing a warm Trump National welcome to Executive Chef Armando Roma! On a personal note, Chef Armando was born in Stamford, CT and now resides in Bethel, CT. He loves spending his time off with his two boys, Luca 11 and Enzo 10. Like most executive chefs we know, Armando thrives on adrenaline rushes which may explain the Aprilia RSV motorcycle he cruises on ‘in his spare time’. Although he’s not a big sports fan, he does follow Tennis Champ, John McEnroe! Members, should you have any comments, suggestions, dietary restrictions or allergies, please feel free to reach out directly to Chef Armando at jroma@trumpnational.com. Chef looks forward to seeing each and every one of you in the dining room at your club.
