About Us — Anderson Hospitality Solutions

Founder

Chris Anderson

Founder & Principal Consultant 5 Properties Overseen Father of Two

Chris Anderson founded Anderson Hospitality Solutions with direct, hands-on experience overseeing operations across five properties. That experience gave him an up-close look at one of the industry's most persistent problems: independent hotels struggling to keep rooms filled without burning through their operating budgets on marketing that doesn't deliver.

Frustrated by the gap between what big-chain hotels could afford and what independent operators actually had access to, Chris set out to build a consulting practice that brought the same strategic rigor — without the enterprise price tag. His approach is grounded in the belief that smart, consistent occupancy strategy shouldn't be a luxury reserved for large brands.

Outside of work, Chris is a dedicated father of two who understands the value of reliability and follow-through. That same mindset shapes how he partners with every client — showing up, doing the work, and staying accountable to the outcomes that matter most to your property.

Timothy Knight

Co-Founder & Mentor 30 Years in Hospitality Owner of 5 Hotels Father of Five

Timothy Knight is one of the most seasoned operators in the hospitality industry, with a career spanning three decades and some of the world's most recognized hotel brands. He began as Director of Food & Beverage at Embassy Suites before being promoted to Director of Sales — a trajectory that gave him a complete command of both the guest experience and the revenue engine behind it. He went on to become owner, operator, and President of Tamek Group, a hotel management company with a portfolio spanning Hilton, Best Western, IHG, and Choice Hotels.

As Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor at Anderson Hospitality Solutions, Timothy brings something no playbook can replicate: 30 years of hard-won relationships, brand fluency, and pattern recognition across market cycles. His expertise in revenue strategy and hotel turnarounds has made him a true savant of the industry — the person other operators call when the answers aren't obvious.

A dedicated family man and father of five, Timothy's approach to business is shaped by the same values he brings home — integrity, long-term thinking, and a genuine investment in the success of everyone around him. His mentorship is one of AHS's greatest assets, and his fingerprints are on every strategy we put in front of a client.

Will Long

Principal Consultant 15 Years Tech Experience 5 Properties Automation & Algorithms

Will Long brings 15 years of technology experience to Anderson Hospitality Solutions, applying a rigorous, algorithmic approach to the challenges that hotel operators face every day. Working across five properties, Will focuses on identifying the processes that can be systematized, automated, and optimized — freeing up staff to focus on guest experience while ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

His methodology goes beyond off-the-shelf software. Will designs workflow automation tailored to each property's unique operation, using data-driven systems to surface insights, reduce manual overhead, and create consistency at scale. The result is a hospitality operation that doesn't just run smoothly — it runs verifiably, with clear benchmarks and measurable performance at every step.

Will's conviction is simple: technology should prove its value, not just promise it. Every system he implements is built to demonstrate best-in-class service outcomes — not in theory, but in the numbers that matter to owners and operators.
