What do you like most about the hospitality business?
I think that's a tough question. There are several things I love about the hospitality business so it's hard to categorize. I love that every day is different, that I get to interact with people from all walks of life and that we get to make a difference every day both with the people we work with and the guests we serve. Of course achieving goals, winning awards and making money for our owners has its own exciting place!
