What is your name and title? Antonio Pace, Director of Food & Beverage at Campus on Lake Austin
Where were you born? I was born in Ottawa, Canada
Please briefly detail your professional experience: My professional experience spans far and wide in the hospitality industry, as I have worked in virtually every department in various hotels/resorts across the globe since I was 18 years old. I have worked in Canada, the U.S., Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos, Cuba, to name a few. Serving people and working hard is my life’s work.
Where is your favorite travel destination and memory? My favorite travel destination – undoubtedly – is Italy. Many of my family members and friends live there. The food, weather, culture are things I strongly connect with as I spent most of my childhood summers in Abruzzo.
Where have you not yet been able to visit, but have always wanted to? I have always wanted to visit the French Polynesian Islands: Bora Bora and Tahiti. I imagine the beauty, food, culture and people there are very different than Italy, but equally as incredible.
What is your favorite thing about Austin? As a native Canadian (and don’t get me wrong – I love Canada) the weather is probably the most enticing thing about Austin! Not having to shovel snow for 6 months/year and enjoying the sun and heat is a real treat for me. The people and food are fantastic too! ?
What does having a position at Campus on Lake Austin mean to you? Being a part of the Campus on Lake Austin team is very exciting to me in many ways – but in a nutshell: the campus is beautiful, peaceful and sure to keep me calm and focused on stressful days. The dynamic team I will be working with will undoubtedly help me to expand and hone my skills as F&B Director, contributing to the company’s success. I am looking forward to working diligently to make the Campus on Lake Austin the best it can be.
