STEVE HUBBARD
Director of Operations
RUSSO'S NEW YORK PIZZERIA, INC.
Steve Hubbard has been cooking his entire life. Starting out cooking for his mom and dad and seven brothers and sisters. His talent came in handy, cooking his way through and helping him to pay for College. After graduating from Christopher Newport University with an Accounting Degree, Steve knew he would never be able to sit behind a desk doing other peoples taxes and bookkeeping. The first few years out of school he spent managing several family owned restaurants. He made the jump to corporate restaurants starting as an Assistant Manager at Applebee’s. Twenty three years later Steve had climbed the corporate ladder to Senior Vice President of operations with the Apple Investors Group. Steve loves all aspects of operations, training and helping people develop their talents is his favorite part of the job. Steve is uniquely qualified for this position with Russo’s because he has worked both with Company owned restaurants and with franchised own restaurants. Being new to Russo’s Steve is excited to jump in with both feet and help out where he can. During his time off, most days you will find Steve in the kitchen passing down his “tools of the trade” to his kids.
