I began my hotel career as a bellboy in Orlando.

I was introduced to the hospitality business at age 6 when my father (and now trusted advisor) was hired as of one of the marketing executive to introduce the Walt Disney World Epcot Center.

I will never forget the first time I saw the Castle inside the Magic Kingdom. It was midnight and my father took my sister, mother and I (right from a red eye flight) to see “where daddy was going to work. . .” Hand and hand my family stood on Main Street USA staring at the castle with nobody else around. At that point the hospitality industry was in my blood.

That was 1979 (my, how Orlando has changed). In 1984 my father bought our first family computer, and my mother (a teacher), had a PC in her classroom, which I played with every day. I was working on a PC when I was in fourth grade.

My father owned a PC rental company and I was fixing computers at age 12. There were so many computers I was in heaven.

After a successful college baseball career, at the University of Central Florida, I decided that I was going to make the hospitality industry my life's passion.

In 1999 I moved in to hotel sales and within 10 years was a top producer for one of the world's premiere hotels.

This year I’ve started my own “Internet Hospitality Consulting Services Business”. My focus is New Media Consulting for the hospitality segment.

Our services will include, Strategic Meeting Planning, Mobile Meeting Apps, using hospitality historic data collection and analysis to improve closing rates, and generating profitable revenue using the Internet and new media marketing tools.
