Under his guidance since 1991, Winston Hospitality grew its portfolio to 38 hotels nationwide, encompassing over 5,500 rooms across upscale, premium branded limited-service, select-service, extended stay, and full-service segments.

In 1994, he co-founded and served as Chief Executive Officer and Director of the original Winston Hotels, Inc., a real estate investment trust (REIT) publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: WXH), until the company was acquired in July 2007.

Since the sale of the original Winston Hotels, Inc., through the reintroduction of Winston Hospitality, he has overseen significant hotel developments and redevelopments, including the Lucky Eagle Casino Hotel and the Winstar Hotel, as well as numerous Hilton-, IHG-, and Marriott-branded hotels in various segments and locations. Winston has consistently managed more than 2,000 hotel rooms in the U.S. and is currently a member of the Sculptor Diversified Real Estate Investment Trust (SDREIT) board of directors.
