Each property experienced revenue and profitability growth under Kleisner’s leadership, while The El San Juan and The Peaks also achieved and maintained coveted AAA 4 Diamond status.
Blessed with an inborn passion for hospitality, Kleisner, a Rennaissance man fills his downtime with a range of interests, including collecting and reading first-edition books, biking, hiking, surfing and travel. He is also an accomplished yogi and amateur photographer.
