About My Experience: Born and raised in South Central Kentucky, I have been surrounded my entire life by the many tourist attractions that surround our region. Having Western Kentucky University, Beech Bend Raceway, Mammoth Cave National Park, Barren River Lake, and many others, there are events happening year-round. I have worked on various events throughout the years and learned what travelers find important while traveling to Kentucky. With over 22 years of outside sales and management experience in cellular communications and broadcast television. I started working in hospitality with Dellisart as a dual Area Director of Sales for Hyatt Place and Staybridge Suites and later moved over to Dellisart’s Hotel Sales Max team as Regional Director of Sales.
How I would describe my management style: I like to ensure my team has the tools and resources needed to perform at their highest, allowing them to put their mark on the business. I am a numbers person, so I enjoy reviewing statistics and trends to understand where the business stands. This helps me to assist my team with understanding our struggles or obstacles and how we can overcome them to reach our goals. When all team members understand the end goals and by working as a unified team we should be successful in achieving our goals.
Why do business with me? I have been blessed over the years to be able to work with a variety of businesses from construction, manufacturing, education, and corporate businesses. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from working with different segments of businesses allowing me to understand not only the needs but also how to effectively communicate.
