Happy Hotelier

I saw Eric Pratum visit here in my Woopra screen and looked him up.

With the newer Wordpress version and the Tumblr Quickpost Plugin for Wordpress I could make a very quick post. It works. Hurray!

About Eric Pratum (taken from his blog):

***WARNING*** Entering Serious Bragging Zone ;-)

I just finished my MBA at Western Washington University, where I worked as a research assistant for both the Center for Excellence in Management Education and the Whatcom County Real Estate Research Report. Recently, I worked in executive search for Parker Remick and in pre-IPO investments for the Bellingham Angel Group. Currently, I handle marketing for the Hilton Hotel in Bellevue.

In June 2006, I completed my MA in German at Portland State University. During those studies, I won a full-tuition scholarship from the German state of Baden-Württemberg and used that to study for a year in Freiburg, Germany – where I had previously lived and worked on a goat farm coincidentally.

Prior to my graduate studies, I obtained my BA in German (March 2003) at Western Washington University – where I also studied a significant amount of French, founded the triathlon team, and helped to originate the Western Triathlon, which is now an annual event.

In addition to my work and academic pursuits, I am an avid athlete and was the founder, songwriter, and sometimes-lead/sometimes-backup singer in the Bellingham-based, rock group THE COLLECTED.

I am fluent in English and German, competent in French, intermediate/novice in the Scandinavian languages and maintain familiarity with Spanish and Portuguese. I have even translated some Flemish and Dutch in a pinch at work. ;-)

Why devote a post to Eric Pratum?
He seems to be employed by Hilton in marketing and was clearly on a fishing expedition when he asked:

It sounds like Esme has very particular tastes. I would be interested to find out what she thinks a perfect Hotel Experience would include. . . hotel type, location, service, restaurant or none, etc.

in his comment to my post 10 Questions for (6) Esme Vos.

I would like to dare him to answer the same questions he posed…
