  It was an honor to work for this 813-room resort in a full time recruiting capacity. A contribution I am proud of was the enhancement of the resort's new-hire orientation integrating an "exemplary guest service" component. I also represented the resort at job fairs and college recruiting events.

Dan Galloway’s Interests:

I enjoy taking my wife out on Saturday morning breakfast dates, playing UNO with my daughter and watching her sing and dance, as well as listening to the music my son has written and recorded with a friend. While on the subject of musical artists, I enjoy the music of Bruce Hornsby, Genesis, Marillion, Neal Morse, and Jason Upton. Exercise-wise, I began swimming laps regularly in late 2007, and the results have been significant! This activity balances out my lack of resistance to pizza, cheeseburgers, sweet & sour chicken and strawberry waffles.
