Billy Dato

Senior Partner

Billy has been working in the travel industry for over 10 years. His first position was with The Walt Disney Company in Orlando, Florida before joining Thomson where he conducted business in Orlando as well as London and Malta. A new role with Virgin Holidays transferred him to San Francisco before he landed in Los Angeles. In the fall of 2009, he decided to go into business for himself along with Peter Schlosser, and the two opened Sierra PVS. Billy and Peter recognized an opportunity to provide personalized, hands on service to travel agents, corporations, and the public that is often lacking in larger firms.

Billy volunteers each year as a crew chief for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade. This year, his float for US Bank won the Theme Trophy!

Peter Schlosser

Senior Partner

Peter has a mind for finances and worked as a trader before abandoning the hectic, cut throat world of stock markets for the only slightly less hectic, cut throat world of passports and visas. Peter worked with Billy previously and the two saw fit to open Sierra PVS in 2009. Peter's main focus is on business development and maintaining relationships with Sierra's partner agencies.

In his free time, Peter enjoys creating electronic music.
