Meet Our Team

We're most proud of our people. Our rule is: We won't work with anyone- client, employee or otherwise- that we wouldn't love to have Sunday brunch with. This is our Beckon Family. 

ISABEAU MILLER

Isabeau founded Beckon in 2015, alongside her husband and partner, Shaun. Hailing from Massachusetts, with a diverse background blending real estate, financial services, the arts and entrepreneurship, Isabeau prides herself on building Beckon into a revolutionary company that continuously evolves to serve the needs and desires of their clientele and guests. In addition to Beckon, Isabeau is an accomplished songwriter and writer with frequent contributions to several media outlets. She and Shaun are the hosts of the relationship and business podcast "Two Inc. with Isabeau and Shaun", and live 20 minutes west of downtown Nashville with their three sons and dog, Otis. They split their times between Nashville and Cape Cod, where Isabeau grew up. Isabeau's hobbies include dreaming up new businesses, finding delicious new restaurants, perpetually redecorating her home, traveling and being with her family.

SHAUN BALIN

Shaun founded Beckon in 2015, alongside his wife and partner, Isabeau. Originally from New York, Shaun spent more than a decade on the road as a touring musician with some of Nashville's finest bands and artists as a fiddle and utility player. Now a devoted father to 3 sons and decidedly off the road and rooted between Nashville and Cape Cod, Shaun is an integral part of overseeing the daily operations of Beckon, knowing the ins and outs of every property, overseeing work and contractors, and onboarding new initiatives and owners. Shaun is the cohost of the podcast "Two Inc. with Isabeau and Shaun", and spends his spare time doing Crossfit, mountain biking, hiking, trail running, traveling, parenting, grilling and boating. He is still actively involved in the music community as a songwriter and producer, and his favorite audience to play for these days are his kids and wife. His commitment to making Beckon as streamlined and efficient as possible inspires the whole team to work towards big dreams and goals, while never letting the little things slip through the cracks.

BETHANY EPPLEY

Bethany joined Beckon in early 2019 after an extensive career in a variety of roles that prepared her for the ever-changing nature of property management and hospitality. Through her endeavors as personal, executive and household assistants, Bethany developed a skill set defined by her resourcefulness, work ethic and determination that has proven invaluable to Beckon's properties, owners and guests. Bethany, originally from the Pacific Northwest, lives in East Nashville with her husband, Jackson, who is a touring musician, and their daughter, Letty. Outside of Beckon, Bethany is an avid reader and writer, loves photography and has a passion for curating cheese and charcuterie trays for special events. Her work ethic, drive and vision make her an integral member of the Beckon family.

ROBYN BUTSKO

Robyn has had a hospitality career, primarily based in kitchens, where she started from a young age, making her way to executive chef positions all around the country. Creativity has always been Robyn's lifeblood, and while crafting dishes allowed her to flex that muscle, for her, the ultimate reward was always about her work allowing her to connect with people, and make them feel warm, and welcomed. Craving more of this connection, and seeking new adventure, in 2016 she left the comforts of everything at home and set out for a world wide backpacking trip! She slept in hostels in Bangkok, Thailand, ate street food in Hanoi, Vietnam, worked on an avocado farm and tended to a goat named Nancy in New Zealand. A year of travel left a permanent mark on Robyn, understanding first hand, how a memory, a meal, an interaction with a stranger, and heartfelt hospitality, can make an entire experience feel magical. Robyn took these lessons, flavors, and ideals back with her upon moving to Nashville, where she served again as executive chef and part of the opening management teams at a couple of Nashville's finest hotels. Robyn is now SO proud to be working with Beckon and loves being able to give others that same feeling she felt when traveling.

CHRISSY RETER

Chrissy joins Beckon after nearly 15 years of hospitality experience in various forms. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Event Planning from Indiana University under her belt, her career has been filled with incredible highlights including working as Executive Assistant for magician, David Copperfield, Band Manager for Third Eye Blind, Lead Executive Assistant for Taylor Swift, and most recently as the 4 year Lead Event Coordinator at Acme Seed and Feed in Downtown Nashville. Throughout her tenure at Acme, Chrissy planned nearly 250 events, led a staff of 12, and propelled Acme to become one of the premier event venues in Nashville, leading countless weddings, conventions and even the NFL Draft. Chrissy and her husband Paul live with their son, Patch and Goldendoodle, Hank, in Nashville (4 doors down from Isabeau and Shaun!).
