Team

Originally from Buffalo, New York, Collin Winterberg joined Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR) in 2015. After receiving his degree in Business Marketing and Sports Business from Florida State University, and with encouragement from his mother and grandmother, both hospitality veterans, Collin applied as a Server Assistant at Ocean Prime in Tampa, Florida.

Looking to grow his career, Collin learned and worked several positions at Ocean Prime before being promoted to Dining Room Manager and soon after, Beverage Manager. During this time, Collin became a true ambassador of the CMR culture. His favorite thing about working at CMR has been the commitment of elevating hospitality standards and the support of his teammates, family, and friends each time he enters the doors of the restaurant. Promoted to General Manager of Prime Social in 2023, Collin is excited to continue to embrace the culture, elevate expectations, and support the growth of their team.

Believing that hospitality is for everyone, the best advice Collin can give those interested in pursuing a career in the industry is to embrace the unpredictability and having love for the hustle and grind. New challenges and conversations keep every day interesting and entertaining. When asked about the greatest lesson learned in his own professional career, Collin remembers what his father shared with him. Teaching him that we spend a third of our lives working, Collin’s father encouraged him to find something he really enjoys doing, which he has found at CMR.

Outside of the restaurant, you can find Collin watching sports, playing soccer, enjoying a round of golf or adding a new bottle of wine to his growing collection.

Coming from his hometown of Oaxaca Mexico, Julio Juarez joined the Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR) team in Kansas City in 2021.

Julio accredits his passion for the culinary arts and ultimately what began his interest in the restaurant and hospitality industry to time spent cooking with his grandmother. Before coming to Prime Social, Julio worked as Executive Chef at a nearby restaurant on The Plaza.

The greatest lesson Julio has learned in his professional career is the importance of consistency and attaining a healthy work life balance. At CMR, Julio’s favorite aspect is the culture and family closeness of the company.

Outside of the workplace, Julio enjoys trying out new restaurants with his two daughters, Niyah and Mia.
