Testimonials
"In dramatic fashion, during his tenure as C.E.O., Richard more than doubled the net operating income of these businesses.  All hotels and casinos under his direction increased their profitability during extraordinarily difficult economic times.  With regard to revenue generation, each and every property showed outstanding market penetration with typical annual STAR REVPAR indices of 135% to 145%.  In four years, Richard grew and transformed ISIS Hospitality into the premier hospitality company in South Dakota.  On every meaningful metric, from consistent, dynamic sales growth to ensuring a high quality product across the company, acquiring a landmark historic property and repositioning it, generating extremely positive public relations, employing loss prevention strategies that drove losses to nearly nil, utilizing rigorous expense and labor controls and constantly motivating a staff of 400 individuals to execute in this consistent manner are Richard's hallmark.  This year ISIS Hospitality was awarded the most prestigious annual business award given in the state by the University of South Dakota - The Tom Didier Award for Excellence - in no small part due to Richard's leadership of our company. Richard is a true hospitality professional, one of the best in the business, at the top of his game."
