Hank jump-started his professional career as a manager, innovator and strategic planner when, upon graduation from college, he assumed a position with Allied Waste Industries in the greater Houston, TX area. Having earned a bachelor of science degree with a major in economics and minor in finance from the University of Texas at Arlington, he focused on the recycling component of solid waste management operations.

In doing so, he successfully managed multiple stakeholders in order to maintain and grow a balanced scorecard. These successes include creating and implementing multi-year capital plans to bring hotels up to standards, contract renegotiations that have allowed hotels to maintain mutually beneficial relationships, and adjusting processes and staffing to ensure high guest satisfaction while achieving significant financial savings.
