“I first met Sam over six years ago when I became President of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce and he joined the Balboa Bay Resort as General Manager. Through those years I have observed him in many capacities...hotel manager...community leader...family man. I can honestly say Sam excels on all three! At the Balboa Bay Resort, Sam took over at a time when there was a turnover in management and brought stability to the hotel. He over saw a years long remodel of the hotel and successfully moved it from a three to a four star property. The Chamber has done a number of successful events there over the last six years and all were handled with precision and skillfulness on the part of his staff. Sam has also served on our Board of Directors for several years and is currently the Board Chair. During his tenure he has helped us grow our membership and event sponsorship. In particular, Sam took on the task of increasing our Leadership Circle partnerships with the larger businesses in the community, resulting in a 40% increase in a little over a year. Sam also has been an active participant in the Hotel Business Improvement District as well as on the Board of Newport Beach & Co, and Visit Newport Beach, the last two of which I serve on as well. Finally, over the last few years I have come to know Sam's family and have witnessed his devotion to his wife and children. He always seems to make time for them even at his busiest moments. My wife and I count Sam and his wife as good friends.”
