Chris Ellison

Chris began his hospitality career in 2002 at 19 years old as a bellman for a Brittain Resorts & Hotels oceanfront resort in Myrtle Beach. Over the next few years, Chris spent time in every department at the property level and was promoted to his first general manager position before age 25. In 2011, Chris left Myrtle Beach to pursue a career in revenue management in Greenville, SC. This position gave him experience with branded hotels where he managed revenue for most major brands including Marriott, IHG, Hilton, Hyatt, and Wyndham. Chris later worked for a revenue management company in Charleston, SC where he managed revenue for both small, independent boutique hotels as well as several branded properties. After gaining experience with two different revenue companies, Chris joined Choice Hotels to help launch its revenue management program. Chris managed revenue for more than 60 hotels and resorts in over 50 different markets. Chris also consulted overseas properties in Germany and Australia and worked on assignments in India where he trained personnel on how to effectively manage revenue. In 2019, Chris’s career came full circle and he rejoined the BRH Team as the Director of Revenue.
