He's not into Yoga and he has
half a brain! Scott Crumpton
Chief Executive Officer,
Left-Brainer Dedicated to Exacting Standards

In 1994, Scott and Allison Crumpton launched Moriah Mountain Internet Marketing, the first internet marketing firm solely dedicated to the Bed and Breakfast industry.

Scott and Allison's proclivity for progression and desire for excellence led them to launch White Stone Marketing in 2003, a company focused on high end web design, exclusive representation and proactive marketing for boutique luxury inns.

She's got to meet you by tomorrow noon and cut through all this red-tape… Allison Crumpton
Founder, Director of Marketing Strategies

An expert in the field of Hospitality Design and Promotion, for over 15 years Allison has worked alongside her husband Scott developing successful marketing campaigns for inns throughout the United States.

With a steady and meticulous manner, Allison guides innkeepers in developing their #1 marketing tool – their website – with exclusive online promotion. Moreover, she pilots the creative staff to ensure WSM custom sites are built for maximum exposure. Kazaam!

Working one on one with WSM's select clientele, Allison's articulate approach to customer service sets the industry standard.

And, yes, he likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. Chris Kelly
General Manager, PPC Specialist

Chris joined the White Stone team over 5 years ago and has been an invaluable asset ever since. From the beginning he has taken over day to day operations related to all online advertising accounts, while continuing to acquire new roles and responsibilities. In June 2011 he has taken on the critical role of General Manager to help improve performance in both the Marketing and Design Departments. At the same time he has become our "Man in the Field," truly enjoying the charge of personal visits to new and existing client properties for both Marketing and Design. If you have not had the benefit yet of one of his in-person marketing visits, I am sure your region is on his list for the near future!

A graduate of the University of Maryland, Chris spent a long year in the legal shark tank of D.C. before moving to Mountain View, CA to work at Google Headquarters. While working for Google he became a valued member of their direct sales division working with various teams in Travel, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods. Chris has implemented the expert marketing skills he learned within the direct sales team from the minute he came on board at White Stone team to refine our PPC strategy and help improve every aspect of our marketing program.

Lead Designer, Visual Visionary

Successfully communicating information, in an organized manner, that is pleasing to the eye. Kim manages to apply these compulsory skills, along with the highest standards of design, to every project, every time. She is the master of providing impeccable, innovative visuals for a host of primary and ancillary integrated multimedia marketing materials.

With a graphic design degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, the deft intensity of her work ensures WSM clients top quality visual results.

And while he lays there sleeping, she reads the paper in bed… Michelle West
Designer

With the spirit of an artist and the discipline of a programmer, in her five years in front-end development, Michelle has never run out of inspiration or original ideas.

In the course of study at the Art Institute of CO, her head was turned from Media Arts to the irresistible romance of Interactive Media. After receiving a BA, she employed her collective talents as a flex/actionscript developer before segueing into the semi-graphical, warm and fuzzy world of front-end development.

Michelle balances work with art and the out of doors in Colorado Springs, CO.

So I waited with high hopes, as she walked in the place. Elyssa Done
Promotions

Elyssa is the newest member of our team at WSM and she is thrilled to be here! She has a passion for precision as she assists our promotions team in working on SEO and copywriting for all client projects.

A native Oregonian, Elyssa attended Southern Oregon University before spending time living in Vienna, the United Kingdom, and Maui - where she worked in office administration within the elite resort community of Wailea. She now resides in Oxford, England.

When she is not ardently working to advance exposure to WSM custom sites, she can be found drinking tea with her husband in one of the world's finest tea houses.

And we said, "Oh it's you." Then we laughed for a moment. And I said, "I never knew." Isaiah Downing
Code Expert

I'm one of those guys that takes being called a nerd or a geek as a compliment. It's true I love writing and working on code. I graduated with a BS in Web Design and Interactive Media from The Art Institute of Portland. My background is in HTML/CSS and PHP/MySQL, and I enjoy the challenge of learning new things.

I live in Vancouver, WA (just over the river from Portland, OR), and before I joined the White Stone Marketing team I worked for 7 years at a local TV station. I started in news control doing camera operations, floor directing, graphics, and audio. I then moved into master control for the last 4 years I was there.

When I'm not working I enjoy playing soccer, my bass guitar, and watching every Trail Blazer game I can (Go Blazers!).

You're the lady I've looked for - Come with me and escape Liz Hamilton
Word Press Genius/Design Director

Remembering a time without cell phones, the internet or email Liz started out in the industry in 1997 with BedandBreakfast.com explaining to innkeepers what this thing called the Internet was. At BB.com she was the Director of Support and spent many hours on the road speaking and representing the company at various trade shows and conferences around the country.

In 2005, while consulting for Blizzard Internet Marketing, with her company Maia Consulting, a whole new world opened up with blogging and social media bringing excitement back to the web. A lover of all things WordPress she has been using the program since the 1.5 version - Billy Strayhorn launched in February 2005 and now combines her SEO knowledge with website build out and project management.

Her daily companion is a goofy Wemariner called Rosie who hangs out in the office with her on a regular basis. As a British Expat, her drink of choice is strong black tea with lots of milk but no sugar.
