    Sales Manager

    Hospitality is all about treating your guests like family in a professional way to make them feel comfortable so they want to return back to Saddlebrook again and again. A repeat customer is easier to book than a new one! To do that, we must first take care of each other as coworkers. I get to live out my grandfather's legacy when he built Saddlebrook Resort breaking ground in 1971. He was a like a father to me and his passion for all things Saddlebrook fuels my passion today!

    Group Sales Manager
    Markets: Florida Corporate

    If I hadn't discovered the travel and tourism indsutry more than 25 years ago, I probably would have pursued a career as either a professional soccer player or a DJ. Life had other plans, and I'm grateful it did. I'm a husband and proud father of two boys. One dreams of becoming a musician and the other an athlete, so it's safe to say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. One thing you'll learn about me is that I believe in making the best of every situation. When life gives me lemons, I make lemonade.

    Family is everything to me. I love making memories with my wife, my high school sweetheart, and our almost two-year-old daughter. Beyond family time, you'll usually find me indulging in fine dining, listening to music, or talking cars.
