Hope Fuerniss

With 25+ years in hospitality, I’ve done a little bit of everything—partnered with global brands, championed indie hotels, and pulled off seamless events that leave people talking (in a good way). I specialize in sales, marketing, PR, social media, and revenue strategy—and I’ve even got an HMCC from Saint Louis University to keep my compliance game strong.

But let’s be real—my favorite title isn’t on my résumé. I’m a proud mom, bonus mom to four amazing girls, and grandma to two little humans who’ve completely stolen our hearts. My partner and I are all about living life wide open—restoring classic cars, globe-hopping when we can, and soaking up every messy, magical, full-throttle moment of our ever-growing family.

Hospitality may be my career, but joy, connection, and chasing what sets our souls on fire? That’s the real work. Follow along for a peek into the wild, beautiful ride.
