Staff Spotlight: Tim Wilson, Director of Online
Reservations
As
Director of Sales for the BedandBreakfast.com Online Reservations program,
Tim has participated in many state and national B&B conferences, where he
has had the pleasure of meeting many BedandBreakfast.com member innkeepers.
Originally from South Bend, IN, he now lives and works remotely from Denver,
CO.
Tim enjoys helping innkeepers market their properties. “There are so many
great inns and B&Bs out there, so just being able to help them get the
incredible exposure we can provide is very rewarding,” Tim explains.
Tim thinks every B&B should be a BedandBreakfast.com member. “After nearly
eight years with BedandBreakfast.com, I am able to see first hand just how
much hard work, effort, thought, and dedication goes into bringing this
industry and the B&Bs within it the best possible products and services,” he
said. “We are professionals who work hard to bring B&Bs as much business as
possible from as many avenues as possible.”
When not working, Tim can be found fly fishing on one of Colorado's great
streams and rivers, snowboarding in the Rockies, or enjoying a game of poker
with his buddies.

prayer for allowing me to purchase a gift certificate that was not for a
specific B&B but would allow the couple it was purchased for to choose
their own accommodations." -- Mary C.
