Bio
Aaron Plantè - CEO
Aaron Plantè, owner of Plantès Hotel Renovation [PHR], has spent the last 22 years perfecting the hotel renovation process with companies such as Vesta Hospitality Group, Rockbridge Capital, RIM Hospitality, Wischermann Partners and others.
After studying Criminal Justice at Cerritos College, Aaron went on to attend UTEP - University Texas El Paso, switching his major to Kinesiology. However, working as a paint contractor in hotel renovations throughout the early nineties led him to an opportunity to take over as Project Manager of a failing renovation mid-stream, for a Hawthorn Suites Hotel in 1996. The success of that job instantly sparked many key referrals as a General Contractor throughout the remainder of the decade, laying the groundwork for becoming a renovation expert in the hospitality industry.
In 2002, he decided to add purchasing and design to his operation. Over the course of the next five years, he progressed from $5M to over $40M gross revenue. The expansion of his services now includes design, procurement, construction and asset consultation, making him the fastest growing turnkey renovation resource in the industry. As a result, he has been invited to participate as a thought leader in various panels and roundtable discussions with leading industry events and publications.
He also spends his free time helping youth sports and is the President of ATX Hardball Club out of Austin Texas. ATX Hardball Club is a nonprofit organization, established for the purpose of developing young athletes through rewarding physical training and mental discipline. Our goal is to help these young athletes become responsible individuals, with integrity and respect for their community and the game. We believe first and foremost in family values, with a high emphasis on academics.
