"Barry role models excellence 24 hours a day. He possesses a unique ability to over-deliver on guests and client expectations in a way which is uncommon in today’s “no service” world. Time and time again, I have watched Barry use his intuition and experience to anticipate the needs of guests and deliver a level of service that can only be described as “exceptional.”
“Thinking Outside the Box” is a phrase often used but never really achieved. Barry “Lives Outside the Box.” He is an experienced hospitality visionary who believes that inspiration is the real work of leaders."
