I am Kalpesh D. Master. I have a Bachelors of Science in Computer Engineering with specialization in real time processing and artificial intelligent systems from Old Dominion University. I spent over a decade working for Northrop Grumman as a defense contractor, managing real time systems, security, processing data using web-based applications. I am also a youth hotelier who entered this industry as part of our family business.

My family owns several economy and mid-scale hotels including an Econo Lodge, Howard Johnson and a Comfort Inn. I developed my skills helping my parents operate Econo Lodge, providing support, learning, managing it over the years with their continued guidance. I have been an active member of ELFA as a Chair for Region 4, replacing Rupal Master who has taken leave to take care of our growing family. I look forward to working with other directors, Choice and franchisees, learning from them while contributing positively in the best interest of our brand.
