Member Spotlight - Sam Hassoun

This month's spotlight is on Sam Hassoun. Sam joined the St. Louis Chapter last May, immediately joining the Education Committee and most recently volunteering to help with Trivia Night in February.

Sam is the Director of Sales at Gateway Production Services, which is a full provider of audio visual and event production services handling events for corporate companies, non-profit organizations, government and the medical/pharmaceutical industries. Gateway Production Services is a traveling AV company handling events all over the US and Canada. The opportunity to work with so many different clients, no two events being the same and the ability to travel are the reasons Sam is passionate about his job.

An interesting fact is that Sam did not begin his professional career in the industry - he was a financial advisor for 12 years. He decided to pursue his passion for technology with sales and management positions in computer hardware and audio visual companies.

Sam has lived in St. Louis since 1992. He was born in Beirut, Lebanon, went to school oversees and has lived in North Carolina and Florida. Life outside of work is where you will find Sam riding his motorcycle, traveling and spending time with his wife Vickie.

Please join me in welcoming Sam to the Chapter!
