I have worked in the hotel and resort industry since 1988 with my first job at a resort / casino in Lake Tahoe. I have since worked at 5-star / 5-Diamond hotel such as the Phoenician resort in Scottsdale AZ. I worked there for about 10 years and learned the basis of my customer service skills. I was part of the Starwood pre-opening team that opened new hotels / resorts within the company. I opened the St. Regis Monarch Beach, Westin Diplomat in Fort Lauderdale Florida, The Sheridan Wild Horse Pass and the Westin Kierland in Arizona.
I transferred to the St. Regis where I was the Guest Services manager in charge of the front of the house operations. These included overseeing the Valet, Bellmen, Doormen, Cashiers and Drivers.
From there I was reunited with the previous General Manager from the Phoenician, Alan Feurstman, who opened the Montage resort in Laguna Beach. I worked there for five years as a doorman.
I belong to the Platinum Coast BNI chapter in southern California and believe in the benefits of referral marketing.
I now own and operate a business branding company called Dunklee Industries. Finding specialty items to help marketing and branding of businesses. Using my 23 years of customer service skills to help business create an identifiable image. Dunklee Industries has over 3500 suppliers and works with some of the best embroiderers and screen printers in the southern California area.
