Bio
Dayna Davis
It was my absolute pleasure to work alongside Kevin. His positive energy is contagious and his strong leadership is inspiring. Kevin was very influential in my career growth as I transitioned from event planning and conference center management to an operational role in the hotel as Assistant General Manager. His guidance and support were invaluable to me during this period. Kevin’s knowledge and skill set are wide spread in regard to construction, hospitality operations and managing people. His continued support throughout my career has shown me that he is loyal and takes true pride in the success of those around him. Kevin is a dedicated and passionate individual with a work ethic that is immeasurable. I am, to say the least, grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him.

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin for 14 years at Stoney Creek Hospitality. We collaborated on many successful projects together and had a lot of fun doing so. You won't find a harder worker in the field. He wore many hats and adapted and excelled in all areas. I used to joke that it's impossible to fill his shoes because he does the work of 3 people, all with a smile on his face. His ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I've seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. As a team member or a leader, Kevin has earned my highest recommendation.
