Every great company begins with an inspired moment…
More than a decade ago, Brent and Brad Handler took a much-anticipated vacation with their families in Hawaii. While the Maui
sunsets were as breathtaking as they’d hoped, when the brothers returned home they weren’t completely satisfied with the
experience.
Why? They spent the entire week wishing they had more space to spread out, more bedrooms to accommodate extended family and friends, a kitchen to prepare snacks and meals for the kids, and more personalized local insights about the best things
to see and do on the island.
Ultimately, the brothers created a private club that combined the luxury, space, and character of private vacation homes with
warm, personalized service and a host of rich resort amenities.
Today, the club offers the hand-selected Inspirato Collection, featuring an expanding portfolio of curated residences worth hundreds of millions of dollars, a global selection of top hotels and resorts, and an impressive roster of custom travel experiences
available nowhere else.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Founder and Chief Experience Officer
Brent is an entrepreneur and pioneer of the destination club industry. In 2002, Brent
and his brother Brad founded Exclusive Resorts. Brent served as the company’s
president from 2002 to 2009, during which time Exclusive Resorts amassed more than
$1 billion in real estate assets, delivered tens of thousands of vacations to members
and set the standard for the burgeoning destination club industry. In January 2011,
convinced he could improve on the model he helped establish, Brent, Brad and their
partners launched Inspirato, providing luxury travelers the opportunity to enjoy the
space and comfort of a private vacation home combined with the five-star service of
high-end resorts, but without the six-figure, upfront fees common in the industry. The
company’s innovative business model inspired Forbes magazine to name Inspirato
one of “America’s Most Promising Companies” in 2011. The company has attracted
investments from top venture capital firms including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
and Institutional Venture Partners. As its pioneer, Brent can speak to the history
and evolution of the destination club industry and the future of the travel industry in
general, as well as Denver as a burgeoning community for entrepreneurs. He has

Brian directs Inspirato’s real estate, property operations, hospitality functions and
is responsible for enhancing the overall Inspirato Membership experience. As the
head of Inspirato’s real estate team, Brian determines which properties are accepted
into Inspirato’s real estate portfolio and visits the majority of the homes personally to
ensure they meet Inspirato’s exacting standards. Prior to founding Inspirato, Brian was
Vice President of Product Development and Strategy for Exclusive Resorts, where
he created the company’s highly successful “Once in a Lifetime” experiential travel
program. Brian also served as the company’s first director of real estate. He began
his career as an economic and management consultant in Washington, D.C. Having
evaluated more than 2,200 vacation homes during his career, Brian has been featured
