Resort Maps Team

Peter L. Hans - President
Peter Hans has been the Resort Maps Franchise president since he acquired this family-owned business in 2005. Prior to joining Resort Maps, Peter served as chief operating officer for a Vermont-based technology company. He worked as an investment banker in Zurich and London before settling in Vermont. It was during those twelve years in Europe that Peter was able to fully tap into his love for travel and make a few perfect turns on the slopes of Zermatt and other top European ski resorts. He’s a New Englander at heart having attended St. Michael’s College in Vermont and having fallen in love with Rhode Island where he spends as much time as possible on mini-vacations with his wife and two daughters. His passions include skiing, sailing, golf, tennis and hiking. Aside from his British wife, Sue, his favorite travel partner is Larry Murphy, the man who sold him Resort Maps. “When we do new maps together we golf, laugh, sip single malt and work on the creation of great maps,” Peter says.

Barbara Murphy - Administration & Accounting
Barbara works as Resort Maps’ corporate secretary, assuring that the day-to-day activities run smoothly. She’s very much the anchor of the company, particularly since she has been with Resort Maps for twenty years. Barbara loves taking road trips with family and friends and enjoys being spontaneous about packing up the van and hitting the road. No wonder she’s an operations manager.

Thomas "Buddy" Murphy - Production Manager
As Resort Maps’ production specialist, Buddy oversees all aspects of map preparation. He’s a fan of high peaks and beaches, so it should come as no surprise that he likes snowboarding, sky diving, bungee jumping and fishing. But he likes skiing with his granddaughters most of all. Buddy has been a member of the Resort Maps team for many years and has been a big part of the reason that our maps are so appreciated.

Lindsey Chamberlin - Map Development
A degree in graphic design has prepared Lindsey well for her work at Resort Maps. She’s involved with all aspects of map production from map development through final production. She loves her job at Resort Maps since it enables her to travel a lot and learn about different places so that the information can be accurately provided on the maps. Her travels also allow her to embrace two of her other passions: the outdoors and photography.

Lisa Reyerse - Graphics and Website
Lisa started her professional career as an art teacher after receiving her bachelor’s degree in Art Education from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. Lisa developed a passion for the process of design through print and web production after being assigned to teach a course in Graphic Design. This passion brought her to Resort Maps as well as back to school. Lisa currently obtained her Master of Arts in Graphic & Web Design. When she is not designing, Lisa enjoys traveling, snowboarding, and creating art through many different mediums.

Colin Bright -Web and Print Map Production
After five years as a snowmaker at Vermont’s ski resorts, Colin decided to come in from the cold and was welcomed warmly at Resort Maps. A strong background in design and a love of maps that began as a boy pretending to be a pirate prepared him well for production work at RMFI. When he’s not at his desk, Colin can be found in the vegetable garden with his wife and daughter or hiking and climbing in the mountains of Central Vermont.
