DREAM ALTERNATE CAREER: If I could do anything else, I’d be a professional tennis player. I’ve always loved the sport — the discipline, strategy and mental toughness it requires are qualities I try to bring to my career every day.
SOMETHING SURPRISING: The first album I ever bought was Barry White.
PASSION PROJECT: I love to play golf and tennis. Both of my kids, ages 5 and 3, have started to play both sports, and I’m excited to teach and play with them.
INDUSTRY TREND: The most notable trend in the industry is the continued rise of branded residences — buyers are seeking lifestyle, not just luxury, and aligning with trusted hotel brands delivers both.
