   Apr 2025 — Present · US

   At American Bath Group, Inc, I lead and work with hotel brands, ownership groups, designers, and contractors to help our products gain approval at the Flag and Brand levels and be specified on new build, renovation, and conversion projects.A big part of my role is navigating brand standards and partnering directly with hotel flags and their design and construction teams to secure approvals that enable franchisees, owners, and project teams to move forward with confidence. From there, I support designers and contractors in applying those approvals in real-world projects where speed, cost, and long-term performance matter.Most of my work sits between design intent and jobsite reality. I help teams protect the look they want while reducing installation complexity, maintenance issues, and total cost of ownership, all without sacrificing the guest experience.I’ve spent more than three decades working in and around hospitality and construction, supporting national hotel brands and large, multi-property portfolios across the U.S. I’m known for being straightforward, passionate, collaborative, and focused on what actually builds a win-win.My focus is fully on hospitality, partnering with hotel flags, owners, and project teams who value clarity, accountability, and execution.Why connect with me- If you’re navigating brand approvals, renovation decisions, or value engineering and want a practical, honest perspective, I’m always open to a conversation.
