Kirk Pierpoint has been appointed to director of engineering of the newly transformed Kauai Marriott Resort on Kalapaki Beach (www.kauaimarriott.com) and Kauai Lagoons. In this position, he will be responsible for managing the engineering departments’ daily operations, maintaining the resort’s buildings and grounds, and upholding standards in safety, security and asset protection.

With more than fifteen years of hotel renovations and construction experience with Marriott’s Architecture and Construction Division, Pierpoint most recently served as site project manager and oversaw the successful completion of Kauai Marriott Resort’s nine-month, $50 million makeover that touched all hotel areas. Significant enhancements include 356 newly renovated guestrooms and suites, refurbished Kukui’s on Kalapaki Beach restaurant with new Toro-Tei sushi restaurant, refreshed Aupaka Terrace lobby lounge, and newly built children’s pool with a slide and water spout features.

“We look forward to the expertise that Kirk will bring to the resort,” said Brad Snyder, area general manager of Kauai Marriott Resort. “He is a team player with great leadership skills and has fostered a positive relationship with his department, management and fellow associates. Thus, we anticipate a natural transition to this new position.”

Prior to joining Marriott, Pierpoint was a project management consultant for Host Hotels and Resorts and owned a residential construction company.

Pierpoint was born in Jacksonville, Florida and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. He and his wife Ellen reside in Kapaa, Kauai.
