Your inspiration to begin working in hospitality:

When I graduated High School I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. With two other

travel excursion and it was a life changing experience. It is then I decided to join the
airline industry.

My hospitality mentor:

During my 28 year airline career I met many fantastic people that helped me on my

immensely on my second career - Hotels.
