CHLOE SWIERCZEK | PLANNER, EXPERIENCE + DESIGN
Born and raised in Corona, California, I always had a love for sunshine and knew I wanted to make my way closer to the beach and city. I finally got my chance back in 2018 when I was admitted to San Diego State University and absolutely fell in love! I graduated from SDSU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management with an emphasis in Meetings & Events from the Payne School of Hospitality. Events have always sparked my interest from my involvement in my high school's ASB to working in the restaurant industry throughout college. Ultimately, connecting with people and providing them the best possible experience has always been a top priority. I’ve always known I was destined for the events industry, and this job at Destination Pros has granted me the opportunity to showcase my skills and bring new cards to the table.

GRACE PIZZINAT | PLANNER, EXPERIENCE + DESIGN
I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA and later attended UC Santa Barbara where I focused my love of nature and majored in Environmental Studies. Upon graduating I moved to sunny San Diego and worked in the bio laboratory field for a few years before realizing I had an interest in planning. I am thrilled to begin my career with Destination PROS and bring my knowledge and love of Southern California to the team.

JASMINE MINOR | DIRECTOR, EXPERIENCE + DESIGN
From the first proposal I wrote back in 2011, I knew the DMC industry was where I was meant to be. As an original team member of Destination PROS, I have been able to grow, perfect and blossom in program development, sharpening both my creative and analytical senses to bring you custom experiences based on your event vision. I have brought to life multimillion dollar experiences, while also creating lasting impressions for guests attending a routine sales meeting. Whether your goal is to showcase the destination you are in or transform a convention center with your branding, my passion, drive and enthusiasm will maximize your program ROI by not only leveraging vendor relationships to strategically allocate your budget, but by crafting a guest experience that will create lasting impressions and attendee retention for years to come!

BRIEANA SASA | DIRECTOR, ACCOUNTING
For nearly two decades, I've enjoyed creating and delivering award-winning meetings and experiences within the Destination Management Industry. As one of the original founding team members of Destination PROS, I have had the opportunity to hold almost every position within the company from single-handedly developing a destination to logistically operating programs. This extensive variety of experience translates into my position now in Accounting/HR, where it’s more than just numbers...it’s capturing a client’s event vision within budget perimeters and the ability to get the most bang for your buck!

LISA BUTLER | PRINCIPAL, LOS ANGELES
Growing up on a farm in Illinois, hard work has always been a core value. That combined with perseverance and a spirit of adventure propelled me to pursue a BA at TCU and later a JD at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. With a home base in Southern California, I was able to express my love for travel at work by creating tour itineraries and implementing them as a tour director leading groups cross country by motorcoach. After settling down, a career in destination management was a natural path allowing me to showcase my local knowledge and operations skills. My first foray into the DMC world started with a bang with an incentive group attending World Cup in 1994. Decades and hundreds of programs later, I am thrilled to be a Principal at Destination PROS!

ROSS PECK | PRINCIPAL, ARIZONA
Born and raised in Phoenix Arizona, I ventured off to Southern California after college and enjoyed the sunshine of the west coast for over 20 years. As an Arizona native, I eventually returned to Phoenix in 2017 as Principal of our Arizona office. With over 25 years of experience, I have successfully managed numerous top client programs throughout an array of destinations in and outside of the United States. I believe an attention to detail, passion for perfection, and the innate ability to problem solve are instrumental in my ability to successfully implement and operate a program to fruition.

PETE SAMULEWICZ | PRESIDENT
As a Southern California native, I studied psychology at Long Beach at Marymount College and Cal State. There I was able to foster an interest in how I could help others grow by creating an ideal work environment. After over thirty years in the travel industry, I had the pleasure of starting my own DMC. Destination PROS was where I found I had a knack for creating shared experiences that bring people together- a quality that still runs deep in our values and daily operations today.
