Wiedemann.
A decade working the best venues in Las Vegas taught me one thing: people remember how you made them feel long after they forget what they spent. I build nights around that.
The Vegas years
I spent ten years inside the most competitive hospitality market on earth — Las Vegas VIP nightlife, including LIV Las Vegas, XS, Encore Beach Club, and the opening team of Zouk Las Vegas. My job was helping fill the room: reading it, working it, and making sure the right people had the right night, every day and night.
Along the way I generated over $10 million in lifetime sales, built countless relationships, and was part of some of the best host teams in the world. I developed service standards that turn first-time guests into regulars who fly in and book their tables and trips with me.
The move
In 2026 I bet on Bangkok — one of the fastest-rising hospitality cities in the world — packed up Vegas, and moved across the planet with my dog, Cash. Not for a change of scenery. For the opportunity to build something from the operator's chair.
The Back Nine
Today I'm Managing Partner of The Back Nine, a premium golf-themed hospitality venue on Sukhumvit 21 in Asoke, Bangkok — where simulator golf, food, and nightlife share one roof. I run the operation end to end: guest experience, team, standards, and the numbers behind them.
The thesis is simple. Bangkok has world-class venues and world-class guests. What I bring is the Vegas discipline of treating every table like the most important one in the building.
Now
- Running The Back Nine — building Bangkok's home for golf, groups, and good nights.
- Documenting the move — the honest version of relocating your whole life to Southeast Asia.
- Always open to conversations about hospitality, Bangkok, and doing service properly.
