Trent Seidl • Orlando, FL
From safety systems to sustainability technology, I am starting a career driven by purpose, people, and impact.
About
I am starting a career at the intersection of people, safety, and experience. As Business Development Manager for the Amusement Division at Safe-Strap Company, I work directly with amusement parks and midway carnivals, a role that demands both technical credibility and genuine relationship-building.
My time at Hyatt Vacation Club gave me a real appreciation for hospitality done right, and it has created a genuine desire to return to that industry as my career grows.
In addition to my day-to-day, I am a founder in the early stages developing Thrift, a sustainability-focused app designed to change how people think about consumption. This spring, I am taking on the Disney College Program, because I believe in learning from the best.
Whether that is an app, a client website, or a career from scratch, I am drawn to the process of taking something from idea to reality.

Beginning May 2025Hospitality Background
Hyatt Vacation Club
During my final years at FGCU, my time at Hyatt Vacation Club instilled a deep appreciation for service culture, guest experience design, and operating in environments where quality is non-negotiable. Working with guests across children's recreation, teaching pickleball, activity coordination, housekeeping, and security gave me a well-rounded foundation in hospitality that continues to shape how I approach every role.
HospitalityServices
Web Design and Development
I design, build, host, and maintain clean, professional websites for small business owners, entrepreneurs, real estate professionals, and finance professionals. No templates that look like everyone else. Just a site built for your goals, on a platform that fits your needs, with someone you can actually reach when something needs to change.
What you get
Custom Design
A site built around your brand, your content, and your goals. Not a theme someone else picked.
Setup and Hosting
Domain connection, hosting setup, and launch handled end to end. I recommend the right platform for your specific needs.
Ongoing Support
Need to update a photo, add a page, or change your hours? I handle it so you can stay focused on your business.
Who I work with
Featured Project
In development • Scheduled Launch December 2026
A sustainability-focused thrift shopping app built to help people make more conscious purchasing decisions and feel good about it. Thrift uses receipt scanning and a rewards system to track impact, celebrate progress, and build community around smarter consumption.
Contact
Whether you are in the amusement industry, hospitality, or sustainability space, or you are curious about Thrift, I would love to hear from you. I am always open to conversations that lead somewhere interesting.
