About me

I’m all in on travel — selling it, supporting it, and doing it whenever possible. I’ve spent my career across DMOs/CVBs, PNW resorts, and hotel groups, opening new properties, running my own consultancy, planning events, and even leading a workforce-focused nonprofit. The work is hard, the people are fun, and I’m always up for swapping ideas and travel stories. I’m looking forward to engaging with this community, thanks!

  • Hi, great resources, Ian! I'd also add Destinations International, which is the association of CVBs/DMOs and also Meeting Professionals International. Cheers!
