Hi, I'm Derek! I have a passion for creating beautiful spaces that feel like home—whether you’re visiting for a few days or staying a few weeks. I come from a background in customer experience and hospitality, and I bring that mindset into every aspect of hosting. I believe travel should be both exciting and effortless, and my goal is to make each guest feel genuinely welcomed and cared for from the moment they book.
I got into hosting because I love the details—designing a space that feels calm, functional, and inviting, while also anticipating the little things that make a stay truly memorable. Whether it’s plush bedding, a fully stocked kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, or local recommendations you won’t find in a guidebook, I want your time in Seattle to be seamless and special.
Outside of hosting, I enjoy hiking the PNW trails, exploring new restaurants in different neighborhoods, and traveling with my family. I’m also a huge fan of weekend markets, vintage shops, and pretty much anything involving good food and great company. Living in Seattle means I get to enjoy all of this daily—and it’s been a joy to share that with guests through my properties.
What I enjoy most about hosting is the opportunity to help people create lasting memories. Whether you're here to explore Seattle for the first time, reconnect with family, work remotely, or just get away for a while, I’m here to support your trip however I can. I’ve welcomed solo travelers, families with kids, visiting professionals, and friend groups—and I’m always excited to meet new guests from around the world.
Above all, I want you to feel at ease and at home. My spaces are designed to be clean, thoughtfully appointed, and ready for whatever kind of stay you’re looking for. If you need anything during your visit, I’m just a message away.
Looking forward to hosting you soon and helping you experience Seattle the way locals do—comfortably, joyfully, and with a few great coffee shops nearby!
