As a 6th grader he transferred to Charlotte Middle School. Throughout his secondary education he was a member of the Charlotte boys’ basketball and football teams. He graduated as a senior in 2007 as a member of the first graduating class since Charlotte was converted from a middle school to a high school.
Upon high school graduation Quinton attended SUNY Morrisville College where he studied Gaming and Casino Management. As a student Quinton played college level football and completed course work in hotel operations, tourism planning, hospitality sales and marketing. It was during his college years he discovered a love for hospitality and tourism.
After graduating from college Quinton obtained a job at the Residence Inn Marriott in Greece, New York. He was the recipient of the 2013 Employee of the Year Award. His enthusiastic personality and diligent work ethic landed him the opportunity to relocate to Charlotte, North Carolina. After a two part interview he was hired on the spot at the Renaissance Marriott as a Reception Ambassador in the southpark area of the Queen City. The Renaissance Marriott is a luxury hotel committed to excellence in service and world-class hospitality. They take pride in their employees who exemplify the renaissance factor.
His supervisor Jessica Brett, a 4 year employee and Long Island native shared that “Quinton is extremely helpful; he is enthusiastic about his job and is an outstanding representative for the Marriott brand”.
Congratulations Quinton King; a shining RCSD alumnus!
