The reason I want to work at The Strand House is because of the extraordinary environment that has been created here. From the team members to the music varietal chosen, everything about The Strand House is uplifting and energetic, leaving me always wanting more!
Me gusta el ambiente aquí, todos nos llevamos bien y por eso estoy aquí desde que abrieron The Brews Hall.

General Manager,
The Brews Hall Torrance
After spending 2 years as a hotel front desk supervisor at Shade Redondo, Ian transitioned to F&B as the opening Bar Manager for the ever-popular Brews Hall in Torrance in 2019. When The Brews Hall brand expanded in 2021, Ian was promoted to General Manager, where he and his team recently received an internal award for hospitality excellence.
Executive Chef,
Shade Hotel Manhattan Beach
Over the last 17 years, Tony has graced the kitchen of every single Zislis Group-serviced property. He worked his way up from Line Cook to Executive Chef (and has done everything in between!). Tony's can-do attitude and fantastic leadership skills helped him quickly rise to the top.
Both started as hotel front desk agents and with dedication and hard work, were promoted to Front Office Managers for their respective hotels. Jessica recently accepted a new position in our Revenue department.
President, Zislis Group
Katie opened Shade Manhattan Beach back in 2005 as the Rooms Division Manager, and several years later was promoted to General Manager. In 2009, Katie created Zislis Group with Michael Zislis, serving as Executive Vice President. After having her daughter in 2014, she segwayed into a Director of Culture role, and then in 2023 was promoted to President of Zislis Group.
More than ever, we understand the importance of community. Team members across all properties come together for Learning Days, Mixology Competitions, annual team party and award ceremony, and more. We believe that learning together is the key to flourishing.
Success means nothing if it is not shared with others. I am grateful that my successes have afforded me the opportunity to do so.
Do you love giving back? Because we do.
Zislis Group is committed to supporting local charities, schools, health care organizations, community events and doing our part to be as sustainable as possible.
Part of our culture is to give back to the community who has given us so much.
From providing Thanksgiving meals to those in need, doing fundraisers for local organizations or people, Zislis Group is also a proud sponsor of Tour de Pier, Walk with Sally, Plant with Purpose Children's Hospital Los Angeles & Manhattan Beach Education Foundation, Torrance Memorial and more.
