He and his team collaborate directly with The Venetian Expo and Sales teams to plan future strategies to drive loyalty and increase repeat business. 

Prior to The Venetian Resort, John began his journey at Casa Madrona Hotel in Sausalito, CA, honing hospitality skills in various roles including valet, bellman, front desk, and concierge. His tenacity led him to Hilton LAX as Catering Coordinator, where he enriched his food and beverage and event planning expertise.
