Chris Ferrante- Owner and Director of Operations

Chris started her career in 1988 with Red Lion Hotels in San Jose, CA. While in San Jose she held positions in banquets, catering and convention services. With Red Lion she transferred to two other hotels, one in Southern California and the other in the Central Valley. At both properties she held positions in sales and operations. Chris also experienced, on an operation level, a five diamond, five star resort; The American Club in Kohler Wisconsin where she learned the finer aspects of service. Most recently Chris worked for a small management company, Northwest Hospitality Group where she was the GM of the Coast Santa Cruz Hotel, and later moved to Southern California to renovate, re-brand, open and operate a 500 room Sheraton Hotel. Chris has a degree in Business Management and has recently moved back to Santa Cruz.

Scott Pinheiro - Owner and CFO

Over the past 30 years Scott has worked and now is the President of a successful travel agency in Santa Cruz, California. The travel agency was founded by his mother nearly 45 years ago and has remained in business even when most of the competitors folded. Scott graduated from the University of Reno, NV with a degree in Business Management. Scott's many years in the travel and tourism industry, along with his connections and roots in Santa Cruz, provide a solid foundation for our company.

As you can see, the partnership is a perfect fit with both individuals being more than qualified to manage your asset, physically and financially.
