David Bayley
Known as Bayley to friends, David was born in Phoenixville, PA and moved to Seattle when he was 8 years old. After graduating from Bellevue HS in ’05, he started working at Hotel 1000 in 2006 and decided that hospitality was his calling.. He planned to study at Tulane but Hurricane Katrina changed that, so he landed at UNLV because of their top-notch hospitality program. After stints at the Mondrian, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the Cosmopolitan Hotel, he left Las Vegas and traveled around the US, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Brazil. He loved the skiing lifestyle and landed in Tahoe to work for the Marriot Timber Lodge at the base of Heavenly before returning to Seattle to set down roots.
He is most excited about working at the Inn because “the company is a part of Seattle’s history. Gaucho puts a smile on people’s face.” He says, “This is a fully rounded hospitality company that I am excited to be a part of.”
