Category: Spotlight on Members

My office is in: Crofton, Maryland (Annapolis/Baltimore area)
What made you want to hotel from there? To spend more time with my family, and I am not big fan of the 495 traffic.
Favorite restaurant/scenery: Best Restaurant – Thames Street Oyster House @ Fells Point, Baltimore; Best Scenery – Severn Inn and Mission BBQ both in Annapolis
Favorite coffee spot: City Dock Coffee and Starbucks both @ Annapolis City Dock
Favorite Friday night spot(s): Rams Head Tavern and Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge both @ West Street, Annapolis
Can’t miss for visitors: 1) U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) – Noon Meal Formation, a tour of USNA, and Formal Parade, and
2) Maryland World War II Memorial – a nice scenery
What is your motto? (Specially during current pandemic) “Just keep swimming!” – Dory from Finding Nemo

I am hoteling from: Southern California
What made you decide to hotel? My family lives in Southern California, and before joining the PTO, I also spent most of life in this region.
Do you have any hobbies or activities that you are passionate about? Can you briefly share it with us? Mostly, running, but also swimming and golfing. I started running 2 years after I began hoteling in California. Running, herein, means regular 26.2 mile marathon and ultra trail marathon. So far I have competed in three 26.2 mile marathons and one 50k ultra trail marathon. I planned to run a 100 km ultra marathon this year, but deferred to next year due to COVID-19. Another running goal is to have sub-four record for a regular marathon (under 4 hour time record to finish a 26.2 mile marathon).
