Terrance Kinman

Terrance Kinman got his first job as a 15-year-old busboy at a hotel on the Atlantic City Boardwalk — and he's been working in hotels, restaurants, and country clubs ever since.

He worked on New Jersey's famed boardwalk for 10 years, gaining hotel experience in everything from convention planning to guest services to food and beverage operations. From there he moved to Florida to work in F&B and management roles at private venues such as Jacksonville Country Club and Queen's Harbor Country Club before ultimately transitioning back to branded hotels.

Kinman has earned a variety of accolades, including ClubCorp's Rising Star Award and multiple Hilton Garden Inn Team Member of the Month awards.

Away from work, Kinman is an active community volunteer. He participates in a monthly beach sweep and, along with his daughter, he walks dogs at the Jacksonville Humane Society. Hobbies include fishing, golfing, and making his own whiskey and wine.
