At seven years old, Waldo Hernandez was mesmerized by the palm trees when he first came to Los Angeles. Years later, pursuing a career in dancing drew him back--only to discover his calling for hospitality. Since then, he has worked at The Four Seasons and Shutters on the Beach, and he is now the chef concierge for the SLS Hotel (an SBE property). He also serves as President of the Los Angeles Concierge Association, which he describes as "a true family working daily to have the most updated and in-the-know information."
