Hotelier, Pioneer in Tourism

The veteran hotelier has been called a tourism giant and he played an important role in empowering the tourism industry.

He was highly regarded as someone with integrity and dedication and has been lauded for his contributions to the ‘Bahamianisation’ in senior management of the international hotels.

He grew up in a modest home on Hawkins Hill.

1971 was the start of his career in the hotel industry, a career from which he retired in January 2013 after more than 40 years, leaving behind an indistinguishable imprint in the history of The Bahamas.
