Bio
Al Stento, CHA
Jon is one of the hardest working persons I have ever worked with... I never worried about the hotel when he worked for me... he always had all the bases covered and never let me down. His overall knowledge of the hotel and its inner workings were his strong suit... His leadership skills are very strong and his staff enjoyed working with him. I recommended Jon for a promotion to a General Manager's position and he got the job... He's a great guy and a pleasure to have on staff.

While working with Jon at the Holiday Inn, I learned that he has amazing customer service skills, as well as skills in dealing with his employees and managing talent. Jon has an amazing and well-rounded understanding of the hospitality industry and is a great resource to veterans and newcomers to the industry--a wealth of knowledge regarding all things hospitality. Jon is patient when teaching and understanding when help is being sought. Jon is a great partner, and a great asset to any team or organization!
