Hi, I’m Steven, the founder of First Light Property Management. I was born and raised right here in Orlando, Florida, where I grew up exploring all the magic of Disney, Universal, and everything in between. With over a decade of experience in the hospitality industry and a degree in Hospitality from the University of Florida, I’ve built my career around creating memorable guest experiences and smooth operational systems behind the scenes.

Before starting First Light, I worked in large-scale events and operations, where I developed a strong appreciation for leadership, teamwork, and the value of well-run systems and processes. As an Eagle Scout, those early lessons in responsibility and service continue to guide how I approach every property we manage.

I started this boutique Airbnb property management company because I genuinely enjoy optimizing short-term rentals to reach their highest income potential. I believe each property is unique and deserves a personalized strategy—not a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s the difference you get with a boutique management company: hands-on attention, local expertise, and someone who truly knows what it takes to create five-star experiences for guests while maximizing returns for owners.

Whether you’re new to hosting or looking to elevate your existing listing, I’m here to help you make the most of your investment with care, professionalism, and a deep understanding of what makes Central Florida shine.
