Editor-in-chief
Nine cabin seasons between Gatlinburg and Wears Valley — peak-October turnovers included — convinced her that most host-tool marketing has never met a mountain road in fog. She started the Standard to score tools on what actually holds.
Management & fees
Has handed Pigeon Forge listings to full-service managers twice and taken them back twice, keeping every monthly statement from all four moves. His beat is the gap between the quoted fee and the year-end number.
Software & automation
Self-manages a Sevierville duplex and a creekside A-frame, and gives every tool one full booking cycle on live listings — including a holiday week — before it is allowed a score.
