Richard began his hospitality career as the Executive Steward at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle after a career in print production management and multi-unit retail management with FedEx Office. He fell in love with the idea of running a hotel after a memorable trip to Arundel in the south of England. Richard’s first post was the Georgetown Inn in Seattle as the General Manager. He took the property from a traveler ranking of 95 out of 100 on Trip Advisor to as high as #15 and received accolades from USA Today as one of the countries’ Top 10 hotels under $150. Richard joined the 360º Hotel Group family just prior to the COVID crisis in 2020.
