Hospitality As A Way Of Life
Trent Selbrede
Advisor
People call me when they need a fresh start with new ideas while not forgetting the tried and true basics. I have become an award-winning general manager by building great teams around me. I have also been fortunate to have a number of great mentors and my curiosity allows me to constantly learn and evolve. My leadership style starts with "why". It is directed by the culture of doing the right thing at the right time.
My hotel experience includes 10 hotel openings, 4 takeovers and managing 14 different locations. For 5 years, I left daily hotel operations and led a team that built websites and sold advertising to the industry. Ultimately, I missed the daily associate and guest interaction that provided endless challenges and opportunities to adapt and thrive. Having me on your team means a culture of creativity, fun, and growth. That growth is demonstrated in the people on the team and in the financial metrics. Hospitality is in my blood. In addition to my "day job," I give back to my community in a number of ways through volunteering and fund-raising with organizations such as the American Red Cross, Rady Children's Hospital, San Diego Humane Society, Habitat for Humanity and Comunity Emergency Response Team (CERT).
