Naples IX and the Boyz of April


 





So this was it—the last Boyz weekend at Casa Uihlein. Hurricane Ian, the third costliest weather disaster on record and the worst Hurricane to hit Florida since 1935 pronounced the end of nine years of brotherly homecomings in the Sunshine State. Sadly Brother Veasey was unable to attend, but more reunions will take place as the flame cannot be extinguished—yet at some new place and time as we accept Father Time and savor the memories of reunions past. 
Thank God I'm a Beta.

Steinhart





Steven J. Steinhart, C.H.S.E, CHME., is recognized as one of the nation’s leading hospitality sales consultants. To date over 40,000 hotel salespeople have increased their productivity by attending the Accelerated Hospitality Sales Training Programs. In 2022 he was named one of the Top 15 Global Hospitality Sales Trainers by the International Hospitality Institute.

Having spent twelve years with Hyatt Hotels Corporation, he directed the sales and marketing efforts at airport locations, suburb properties and major city center convention destinations. Steinhart was also responsible for monitoring the sales and marketing efforts at resort destinations and pre-opening properties prior to establishing Steinhart & Associates.

Steinhart has spoken on the topic of hotel sales and marketing at the American Society of Association Executives, the International Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus, Society of Government Meeting Planners and Meeting Planners International.

He lives in Pebble Beach, California with his wife Lisa.  Together they have four children.

"Love living in Pebble Beach.  Still working and loving it but have reduced the travel.  2 million miles on United, (you’re welcome Loveland), is enough.  Still in touch with many brothers.  Often in touch with Andy Smith, Mannski, Lowski, Jimmy Kopka and Gary Bachar.  Recently had a terrific conversation with Rick Pederson who just got married for the first time.  He sounded through the roof happy.  In touch with Dave Lunger via facebook and Tommy Hays via SC Football.  He and Steve Bruce still attend every Note Dame - USC game.  See Mark Barber at different golf events.  Spoke to Johnny Miller not long ago and he is great.  I think Johnny is on the DU BOD."
