I never planned on running a hotel. I just knew I liked order, people, and the feeling of a space that worked the way it was supposed to. My first job was at a front desk when I was nineteen, and something clicked — the rhythm, the flow, the way a good manager could turn a stressful moment into a smooth one. I wanted to be that person. When Williamson Hotels offered me a position at the Bourre Bonn, I didn’t realize it would become the place I’d build my life around. The building feels like an extension of me now — the lobby’s energy, the staff’s heartbeat, the quiet hum of guests moving through their own stories. I don’t run it with an iron fist; I run it with intention. People respond to that. George and I met before either of us had titles. He was steady even then — observant, grounded, protective in a way that didn’t smother. His work at the Louisville Bohemian Lodge fits him perfectly. He sees things before they become problems. I solve them once they do. We make a good team. Our kids grew up watching us work, and I think it shaped them more than we realized. Tommy chose the Navy — discipline, structure, purpose. Claudia is following me into hospitality, but with a sharper corporate edge. Ellie found her passion in pastry, and I see the same spark in her that I felt at nineteen. People assume hospitality is about smiling and being polite. It’s not. It’s about reading a room, anticipating needs, and staying calm when everyone else is unraveling. It’s about knowing when to bend and when to stand firm. That’s where the Missy Code lives in me — structured empathy. I care deeply, but I don’t lose myself in the caring. I lead with warmth, but I don’t let warmth replace boundaries. Some days are long. Some nights are longer. But when I walk through the Bourre Bonn lobby and everything feels aligned — staff confident, guests comfortable, the building breathing smoothly — I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
