Read on to discover more about Sam, his passions, and the remarkable moments he’s shared with us over the years.

What do you enjoy about working at DYRSL?

Working at DYRSL is fulfilling because I get to interact with great people.

Describe ‘a day in the life’ working at DYRSL in your current position

In my position, my day at DYRSL involves managing the Food & Beverage Department, assisting Members and Guests with their inquiries, organising events to create memorable experience for everyone and catching up with regular clientele.

What is a fond/funny/stand-out memory of your time here.

I’ve had quite a few funny memories, but I think I better kept them to myself.

If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?

Right now, I would like to travel to Tokyo to explore new places and cultures.

What is the weirdest fact you know?

Did you know that honey never spoils? Archaeologists have found edible honey in ancient Egyptian tombs over 3,000 years old!

 How would your friends describe you?

My friends would probably describe me as reliable, easy-going, and always up for trying new things.

Favourite book/movie?

My favourite movie would have to be The Green Mile with Michael Clark and Tom Hanks. What a great movie!

Tell us something we don’t know about you…

I am a DJ and occasionally I will be behind the decks on Friday or Saturday night at Courtyard.

Favourite Drink?

My favourite drink at the moment would have to be Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey. The whiskey is rich of peanut butter flavour, hints of butterscotch, caramel latte, and hazelnut. Perfect after dinner drink and  you can order it at Battery House!

What is your go-to meal here?

When it comes to my favourite meal, I always opt for the Prosciutto Pizza from Courtyard.

­­­What are some of your hobbies outside of work?

Outside of work, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, catching up with friends, exploring new bars and restaurants and DJing.
