I’ve moved 11 times throughout my life, but East Tennessee has always been home. For the last couple of years, I’ve run the day-to-day operations of Smoky Mountain cabins: the 2 a.m. maintenance calls, the guest locked out in the rain, the HVAC that quits an hour before check-in.

I’ve learned that the cabins that run best aren’t necessarily the ones with the fanciest software. They’re the ones where someone cares enough to check the details, follow up on the little things, and pick up the phone when something goes wrong. Too many owners are left chasing updates, and too many guests are left dealing with problems that should have been handled before they arrived.

So I started Hummingbird.

Small on purpose. Personal by design.

I only take on as many cabins as I can give proper attention to. That means knowing the property, knowing the people who care for it, and taking responsibility when something needs fixing.

Accountability means owning the outcome, not just passing along the problem. If something goes wrong, you’ll hear it from me first, with a plan. If I’m the reason, I’ll say so and make it right. With Hummingbird, you’ll always know who to call. It’s me.

It’s my job to make your cabin the easiest investment you own.

A little bit about me.

Outside of work, a lot of my life revolves around food. I love cooking for people, finding a great local restaurant, and having friends over just because there’s something good to eat.

I’ve always enjoyed hosting, whether that’s welcoming people into my home or helping guests feel at home in a cabin. To me, hospitality has never been just about a place to stay. It’s about the thought and care behind the experience.

That’s the idea Hummingbird was built around: taking care of the details, treating people well, and doing things the right way even when nobody is watching.

Let’s talk about your cabin.

If you want a manager who values personal attention, honest communication, and accountability, I’d love to hear about your property and what matters most to you.
