“Kelley has been a great influence on my career. I have had the pleasure of working with Kelley at 2 different companies and have watched him on numerous occasions conduct training sessions. To this day I use many “Kelleyisms” in my own hospitality seminars. His passion for the hospitality industry is certainly infectious to those around him. I would highly recommend Kelley to anyone needing to train or motivate their team.”

“Kelley was a panelist at my inaugural “Independent Lodging Congress” in Philadelphia, PA. Kelley’s insight as both a hotel food & beverage operator and an independent restaurant and bar operator was a great addition to a lively discussion. Kelley certainly understands the importance of a hotel’s F&B offerings and programming and why it is such an integral component to today’s traveler. “
