There's knowing Seattle. Then there's knowing Seattle.
Most people can tell you where to eat. I can get you in the door, introduce you to the owner, and make sure your CEO's evening runs flawlessly — without you having to think twice about it.
— 50 Years in the Making
I didn't discover Seattle. I grew up here.
For nearly five decades I've been building relationships in this city — in its restaurants, its boardrooms, its nonprofit community, its sports arenas, and its event venues. The kind of relationships that don't come from a Google search. The kind that get answered on a Sunday night.
My background spans hospitality, marketing, event operations, and executive support at every level — from Disney Resort Management to Fortune 500 field marketing to Amazon program management. I've planned trade shows and high school reunions with equal care. I've represented global brands like Bacardi, Microsoft, Kellogg's, and the U.S. Air Force. And I've supported executives who couldn't afford anything to go wrong.
The difference between a good experience and an exceptional one is almost never the budget. It's the person behind it.

FIFA World Cup 2026 — Official Credentials
I hold official FIFA World Cup credentials — one of a very small number of independent hosts in the Seattle area with this designation. For delegations, sponsors, corporate hospitality teams, and VIP guests attending matches in Seattle, this matters.

— What makes this different
You're not getting a vendor. You're getting a partner.
There are concierge services. There are personal assistants. There are event staffing agencies. This is none of those things.
When you work with The Seattle Host, you're getting a partner who has already made the calls, knows the people, and understands what's at stake. Someone who will pick up the phone at 10pm when your speaker's flight is cancelled and find a solution before you've finished explaining the problem.
I've spent my career making sure other people look good. That's not a side effect of what I do — it's the entire point.
