His experience includes the management of Hyatt resorts in Sarasota, Florida; Monterey, California; San Diego, California; and Maui, Hawaii. Most recently, he oversaw the construction and operations of a state-of-the-art animal welfare center in Flagstaff, Arizona – the Second Chance Center for Animals. This facility serves as home on a daily basis to more than 200 cats and dogs who are waiting for new, loving homes. Through this experience with the Center, Roger knew that his dream was to create a special place for pets right in his own backyard, and in 2008 that dream became a reality. His luxury resort experience, combined with his love of and experience working with animals, means your special pet is in good hands.
