As a lifetime veteran of the hospitality industry I bring 40 years of operational experience and energy to my roles everyday. My career has taken through the development efforts of several fortune 500 companies including Planet Hollywood International, Hyatt Hotels, Mandalay Bay Dev Group, Caesars Entertainment, Sodexho and Valley View Casino Hotel.In 2012, I was honored to lead UltraStar Multi-tainment's efforts in the design development of the largest Entertainment Center in the US. At 170,000 sq ft, the project, was a Marvel. 10 venues under one roof, we partnered with the big 6 Movie studios and Brunswick Bowling to bring a together a new level in Theatrical Distribution and Entertainment. From that, in 2017 in partnership with Caesars Entertainment, we built and operate Multi-tainment venues at Harrah's Cherokee Resort and Harrah's Cherokee Valley River in North Carolina.The Ak-Chin community, lies adjacent to the City of Maricopa. After 9 years of working in partnership with the City, in February 2021, I accepted the role of Executive Director of the Maricopa Economic Development Alliance (MEDA), a 501(c) (3) Non-profit economic entity. In early 2020 I had started to collaborate on a new and rising sports/entertainment segment, Surf Parks. In coming to understand a vision for a venue where Lifestyle meet Adrenaline, Cannon Beach Development began work in Arzona. As a mixed use development, Cannon Beach will be anchored with Revel Surf Parks and surround itself with Culture, Restaurants, Lifestyle and an atmosphere for comercial business to thrive. In June of 2022, I accepted the role of COO Cannon Beach Development and Revel Surf Parks.
