Dennis and Linda have owned and operated BarMasters since 1992. They have graduated thousands of bartenders with amazing success in providing job placement assistance to those graduates.  For the first 12 years BarMasters was open Dennis and Linda taught both the night and day classes alone. In 2004, they hired their first certified Mixologist instructor.  They continue to have a huge part in running BarMasters and frequently visit the students during class to offer advice, encouragement, and sometimes a joke or two!

Before BarMasters, Dennis was the campus director of ITT Tech in Baltimore Maryland.  During his reign he had one of the highest enrollment and graduation stats of the ITT Tech education center.  Linda co-owned a bar in New York City for ten years and developed a keen understanding of bar and hospitality knowledge.  She knows the ins and outs of bars and used to jump behind her bar during busy nights!  Together with their separate skills they have brought the finest Bartending School of all of Virginia to Virginia Beach.   They are dedicated in teaching adult students of all ages and backgrounds a new marketable skill and helping all of BarMasters graduates find employment.
