Dave Patel migrated to the United States in 1995 and joined my parents in Pulaski TN.  I operated an indepedant property until 2000.  I purchsed an Econo Lodge in Cornersville TN in 2000.  It has been a great and rewarding experience with the Econ Lodge brand.  I have multiple properties currently but the Econo Lodge is my favourite.  I am proud to serve as the director for region 7 and hope that I can make a difference.
