"Architecture was fun, but I kind of missed the go-go atmosphere of lodging, "said McIntyre. "There is a speed to the marketing and creative services that is hard to find anywhere else. Plus they made me a great offer."

"Jon trained me when I got here and I look forward to collaborating with him again. It gets me stoked." said Joseph Romain, currently Sunspots photographer and creative director.
McIntyre noted, "I'm going to oversee all of the companies marketing, including advertising for individual homes, resorts and hotels. We are tops at websites, photography and graphics and I'll keep us moving on those. But I will also manage the media buying, marketing strategy and internet advertising. It will be fun."
Jon may even get a chance to shoot and photos when in the field on marketing assignment. He is famous for in his role as manager of Signatours Image Team the company's lodging images business.
"It is a great relief when you hire someone and find them so competent, " said Penny Taylor, another Finito officer. "Our team just keeps getting stronger and people like Jon are the reason."
