Our Team

John began his hospitality career 20 years ago as a night auditor and guest service associate with Choice Hotels. Though he was hired for part time audit, John was soon covering all shifts at the front desk and even helping out in the hotel’s bar and restaurant. He was advanced to the front desk manager position after four months at the hotel. Over the years, John has worked for properties under Choice Hotels, Wyndham, and Marriott. In 2019, John accepted a dual position as sales coordinator and food & beverage manager at a new Residence Inn by Marriott and was advanced to general manager in 2022. During his time as general manager, he lead his team to achieve several property and Marriott awards, including the Diamond Circle Award. He loves interacting with guests, and has a passion for helping his staff and team grow their talents in the industry. John was drawn to the Slate Hospitality Group Property support Manager position for the opportunity to expand his knowledge of the hospitality industry and experience new places.

 

Outside of work, John enjoys tinkering with his computer homelab and recently got into sour dough baking.
