“I’ve been with CSM for the past 7 years, starting in June of 2008 as the Chief of Engineering at Residence Inn Vancouver, Washington. Within the first six months, management began moving around at the property level and I received a promotion to Assistant General Manager.

In 2012, I received CSM’s “AGM of the Year” award. Then in March 2015, I was promoted to General Manager of the Residence Inn Lake Oswego. What I love about CSM is if you’re willing to make the effort, they are willing to support you all the way. I have never been turned away when in need of assistance. CSM has always trusted my decisions and has full confidence in me, even when I don’t. When a tragedy struck my family and me, CSM Lodging reached out offering help and they truly helped us in a time of need. I am so happy to be a part of an organization that is so powerful, endearing, and one that genuinely cares about their associates!” #IAmCSM
