Hospitality and Hotel Management In 1996, I assumed complete responsibility for the operation of King Pacific Lodge. Through sustainable business practices I have guided this unique luxury destination to international acclaim for its unparalleled guest experience, culminating in from “Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report” and “Condé Nast.” Sustainable Business Practices and Triple Bottom Line I strive to be a leader in Ecotourism and Culture Friendly tourism and I am an expert in sustainable business practices in the hospitality and tourist industry. As president and CEO of King Pacific Lodge I have demonstrated that a world class hotel can be a steward of the environment, work with and for the benefit of its indigenous First Nations neighbors, and make a profit. I am a proponent of what is often referred to as ecotourism, sustainable business, and the triple-bottom-line. I believes that it is just good business.First Nations I established a working protocol with the Gitga’at people, the first between a First Nation and a private company in British Columbia. I conceived and launched Tsimshian Tourism Inc., piloting a new model for First Nations ownership and control of tourism product and participation in the tourism economy. Finally, as a sign of mutual respect and fondness I had the deep honor of being adopted by the Gitga’at Nation. Ecotourism I am commitment to sustainable business practices and a triple bottom line business philosophy. I worked with NGOs, BC and Canadian officials, the forestry industry, and First Nation communities to help create the Great Bear Rainforest – a protected area the size of Switzerland that won the World Wildlife Fund’s 2007 “Gift to the Earth” award. I had the honor of being the founding vice president of the Wilderness Tourism Association.

Listed skills include Hospitality, Sustainable Business, Event Management, Leadership, and 24 others.
