Judson Wellford Trapnell

A ninth-generation Delawarian, I was born and raised in Greenville, where I attended The Tatnall School. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Business Management from Gettysburg College and a Master of Management from The Hotel School at Cornell University.

After a diverse career in hotel management and more recently, corporate events, which took me from Boston to New York, and then to San Francisco, I am thrilled to be back home in the beautiful Delaware Valley.

When I’m not planning, you can find me working in the garden, or on one of our latest DIY projects at our 18th-century farmhouse in Chestnut Hill. I am travel-obsessed, but when closer to home, I enjoy spending time at the Delaware beaches.

I believe strongly in giving back to the community and currently serve on committees for Hagley Museum & Library, The Holly Ball Foundation, and the Delaware Art Museum.
