The Firm
Most projects fail before they start — unclear vision, the wrong team, the wrong property, chosen in the wrong order.
We work in the opposite order: clarity of vision first, then the property that actually serves it, then the team to execute it. VIDA Hospitality has sat on every side of these decisions — as owner, operator, seller, and advisor — and that experience became a methodical process from A to Z: study the land with data and due diligence, build the vision with the region's best architects and counsel, and run the asset to an institutional reporting standard. Clients hire us for expertise; they keep us for the truth-telling.
Eighteen years producing events and hospitality experiences — from 7,000-person gatherings in New York to boutique programs for world-class venues — before founding the VIDA retreat center in Costa Rica, operating it to thousands of guests, and selling it to Selina Hotel Group. He then spent five years helping Selina scale a dozen retreat centers before building today's advisory practice: 40+ engagements across six countries, from personal sanctuaries to 1,000-acre communities.
He has closed over $50M in real estate transactions, worked solo and inside large development teams, and stood on projects that worked and projects that failed — both worth their weight in gold for what they teach an owner before a dollar is spent.
