About
I've spent more than 30 years running hotels, not analyzing them from a distance, but leading them from the inside. My career spans executive leadership within the Hilton organization, multi-property portfolio oversight, hotel development, and direct ownership. That combination of operator, strategist, and owner perspectives shapes everything I do.
As owner-operator of the 60-key Camp Satori Montana, I achieved GOP margins of 60%, roughly 22 points above the national average, through disciplined cost control, no-cost experiential programming, and a business model built on replacing transactional guest interactions with something transformative.
That experience is the foundation of every client engagement. I know what it costs to run a property, where profit gets lost, and exactly what it takes to get it back.
Through Camp Satori Hospitality Consulting, I work directly with owners and investors to align financial goals with daily operations. My focus is straightforward: strengthen GOP, improve revenue performance, protect brand standards, and increase the long-term value of your asset.
If you own or invest in independent boutique hotels, glamping retreats, or emerging experiential destinations, I'd welcome a conversation.

Asset Management
Ongoing Retainer Engagement
Most hotels are leaving profit on the table. Not because of bad leadership, but because daily operations and ownership return goals are rarely aligned. That's what Asset Management fixes.
This is hands-on engagement, not remote oversight. We work directly with your GM and department heads, coach leadership monthly, and stay focused on one thing above all else: growing GOP and EBITDA. Every engagement begins with a full audit of revenue, expenses, GOP flow-through, capital use, and operations, and ends with a clear profit-growth plan your team can execute.
Work includes GM and department head mentoring, monthly ownership calls on market trends and profit opportunities, revenue strategy and cost control oversight, and capital decision guidance with exit readiness planning built in.
The goal is simple: run your property as a disciplined financial asset that delivers consistent, measurable returns.
Hospitality Consulting
Project-Based Engagement
Not every property needs ongoing management. Some need a focused intervention, a repositioning, a revenue overhaul, a sales strategy reset, or an operational restructure. That's what Hospitality Consulting delivers.
Each project begins with a complimentary deep dive audit and ends with a clear implementation roadmap your team can execute independently. Engagements are scoped, time-bound, and built around a single goal: measurable improvement in asset performance.
Typical projects include property repositioning and rebranding, revenue management and sales strategy overhauls, SOP development and department restructuring, pre-opening planning and launch strategy, and brand partnership or acquisition preparation.
The Wellness Advantage
Project-Based Engagement
Wellness is no longer a niche amenity. It is a high-margin revenue engine that the right property can activate without capital investment or additional payroll. This engagement designs and implements a cost-neutral wellness platform built entirely on strategic practitioner alliances. These experienced providers deliver programming under a revenue-share model, so the property captures ancillary revenue while incurring little to no direct cost.
For a 100-room property at 80% occupancy, a structured wellness platform can generate approximately $1,000,000 in annual EBITDA. At a 7% cap rate, that's $14,000,000 in added asset value.
Profitable Glamping
Project-Based Engagement
Underutilized land is an untapped hospitality asset. This engagement takes a property from concept through opening, feasibility, permitting, construction oversight, brand development, and launch, with financial discipline built into every phase. The objective is an experiential lodging concept that is operationally sustainable, competitively differentiated, and positioned for strong occupancy and long-term appreciation.
