Reflecting on his journey with Audrain Hospitality , O ’ Donnell says , “ The essence of Audrain Hospitality lies in its foundation — mentors and fellow entrepreneurs who inspire innovative thinking . Newport Craft stands as a beacon in Newport ’ s north end , a testament to our commitment to excellence . Not only is it an eco-conscious facility , but its dynamism as a hospitality and event space is unmatched . As we eagerly anticipate our grand opening in February , we are confident in the transformative impact our establishment will have locally and regionally for years to come .”
Beyond his business achievements , O ’ Donnell ’ s dedication to the community is evident in his active roles on the boards of Roanoke College and the Newport Art Museum . However , his deepest affections are reserved for his wife Tessa and their sons , Brendan Jr . and Louis Dean .
