He has more than 30 years of management experience and will oversee all food and beverage outlets for the resort. “I am excited about joining the execu- tive management team at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort. The potential for the property is tremendous and I am eager to roll up my sleeves and go to work,” said Martinez. “We welcome John Martinez to our Chinook Winds director team. He brings with him years of experience in the food industry and we are looking forward to his fresh outlook to our dining and banquet departments,” said Mike Fisher, Chinook Winds general manager. Martinez first started in the casino industry as a slot host at the Lady Luck in downtown Las Vegas. He moved up the ranks and was promoted to executive host. “I was one of the youngest executive hosts in Las Vegas. I was a young man in Las Vegas, working with the casino’s high rollers and having the time of my young life,” said Martinez. “That was an incredible job and I learned a great deal about the gaming business.” He moved with the company to Mis- sissippi and was part of the management startup team for one of the first riverboats in Mississippi. Martinez and his wife started a res- taurant in Albuquerque while he was still working in the gaming industry. While he was running the San Felipe gaming operations, his wife was building their restaurant into a viable business. Eventually, Martinez left the casino to join his wife and grow their restau- rant operation into a five-store outlet in the Albuquerque area. Dos Hermanos Courtesy photo by Chinook Winds staff John Martinez restaurant would go on to win numerous industry awards. Martinez’s last position was as the program manager at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He worked with medical practices and school-based health centers throughout the state as a change management expert, helping them institute systematic and sustainable changes to improve their practices. Martinez takes over one of the largest departments at Chinook Winds. “My wife and I couldn’t be more excited about the move to the Oregon Coast. It is just so green and beautiful here, very different from New Mexico. The food and beverage director has a great deal of responsibility to the property, to the customers and to the many employees who come in each day and do their best to provide the best food possible,” said Martinez. “I am looking forward to utiliz- ing all my skills to make improvements to the department, to continue to develop the food and beverage department’s employ- ees and for my wife and I become part of the Lincoln City community.” Follow us on Twitter, find us on Facebook or visit our website at chinookwindscasino.com.
