Williams, a business major at the University of Kansas, comes to Garrett Creek Ranch, after serving as a sales representative for Colgate Palmolive, in New York, and the recent sale of her own Dallas-based restaurant, Bens Halfyard House. "I have such respect for the Schultz family and for the product that Garrett Creek Ranch represents. I'm thrilled to be a part of this company," she said. "Garrett Creek provides incredible experiences for our clients and our mission is to help our partners have successful meetings."

"Deb brings an ideal combination of business acumen and a true love of people and our product," said Leslie Schultz.  "Her experience as a business owner gives her a healthy respect for our challenges as well as insight that few others can provide. It is clear that she understands and is helping to guide our vision for the future."

Williams, married and the mother of two, was born in Chicago, the daughter of an entrepreneur. "My father taught me many lessons about business and believing in what you sell is at the top of that list," she said. "The staff is so well trained that they anticipate the needs and desires of every attendee throughout their stay in Paradise. Everyone at Garrett Creek Ranch is sincere and dedicated to exceptional customer service I have never before had a sales job where my clients were so happy to hear from me."
