I started in hotel operations -- I worked as an Executive Steward, keeping commercial kitchens clean and worked in culinary positions. I moved into Catering, then Sales, and progressed from a Junior Sales Manager to Director of Sales and Marketing at hotels and resorts nationwide. With that hotel background, primarily with Hyatt Regency and Marriott Hotels, I launched CONTACT Planning Inc., the only site selection company that's staffed 100% by former hotel managers. We book and manager more than 100,000 roomnights and 35,000 golf rounds annually.
