Hospitalitarian

From roadside hotels to some of the largest and most experiential urban hotels in the United States, White's visionary leadership led to the development of over 200 hotels and 60 independently branded restaurants across the country.

For four decades, he inspired hospitality entrepreneurs, introducing groundbreaking concepts such as the first dual- and tri-brand hotels.
