I am helping guide an extremely talented team of professionals to make an impact each day. Building authentic connections has become my passion - whether that is connecting people with nature and inspiring them to care more about it or deepening the connection to place where you are inspired to return over and over again. This approach leverages a belief in servant leadership where everyone is inspired to be their best.Specialties: Leadership, strategic planning, customer service, guest experience, relationship building, data-mining, creative problem solving, brand positioning, public speaking, budget planning, vendor relations
