Rick is a strategic visionary. He was instrumental in building our sales strategies and restructuring our team. I would highly recommend Rick, as his diverse experience provides a wide range of perspectives and allows him to customize the approach needed for success.

Scott White, President/CEO, Visit Greater Palm Springs

I have worked with Rick for many years in various capacities, and his ability to optimize revenue and stimulate growth in an underperforming asset is a true talent. The work Rick does is very “high touch,” and he certainly doesn’t mind rolling up his sleeves to best evaluate and improve an organization’s results.

Gary Sims, CEO of Hay Creek Hotels and Restaurants

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Rick, who I found to be a highly valuable and experienced resource. His vast knowledge in the various market segments, given their nimble nature, was very positive in aiding our property's efforts to grow its base and impact the positioning of our luxury boutique hotel. His professional, strategic, and thoughtful approach were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Rick if you are seeking to improve the performance of your property.

Albert L. Mertz, General Manager, Hotel Hartness

Rick has been a tremendous asset to me and my team as we define our sales needs. He swiftly evaluated our business, provided suggestions, created sales and marketing plans, and developed job descriptions. Currently, he is screening all applicants for our Director of Sales and Marketing position. Rick has quickly become a trusted and integral part of the team.
