"I started my employment with Haru Restaurant Group while still attending the ICE® Culinary Management program back in June 2006. I was even fortunate enough to help the group open their Boston location in the Prudential Center this October. Currently, I'm about to open the Haru on Wall Street as the General Manager. It was amazing to be on the project from day one. I am still in awe of seeing this restaurant go from a pile of dust to a great space! Thank you for everything ICE® taught me."
— Jessica Johnson, Culinary Management '06, formerly of the New York Stock Exchange

"Steve, I just wanted to thank you for the experience you provided during our management class at ICE®. As a result you are looking at the newest manager in training for Brinker International. I was just awarded the job this past Thursday with Chili's, I will be in training for the next three months, and then I'm off to the races. I feel fortunate to have had time to sit under the learning tree with you for a while and am much better for it. You are everything that is right about this business, and I look upon you as a mentor. Thank you sincerely for the foundation, now I know that the sky is the limit. With deep gratitude."

"Hi Steve, Jason Lloyd here. Just wanted to check in with you. Sorry it's taken a while, but I went straight from class into the busy holiday season. First off, I can't tell express enough how much I enjoyed your class. It was absolutely worth every penny! The knowledge I gained from you will stay with me as long as I live, and I'm sure everyone feels the same. It was really wonderful to be able to share and discuss our ideas and get feedback from each other and you, Brian and Mark. Friendships were formed that I see lasting well into the future. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the last six months. Anytime you need help on one of your consulting projects count me in!"

I am so glad that I chose ICE®'s management program. As well as meeting great people, I learned more than I could ever have imagined."
