The Fabulous Bellagio

Thank you NAHAD for organizing and conducting a really great Annual Convention at the fabulous Bellagio resort in Las Vegas.


If you haven't had the chance to visit this super nice property, it would be a good destination on your next visit to Las Vegas.  Take some time to watch the fountain show while you are there.


The 2019 NAHAD Annual Meeting & Convention was great from start to finish.  From the golf outing on Friday to the closing party on Tuesday, all of the planned events were successful.  Speed networking, hospitality parties, and planned meeting sessions for attending delegates all added to the value of attending NAHAD.

I was particularly impressed with the speakers at the event including Mike Staver on How to Stay Calm Under Pressure and Dirk Beverage on How to Create Relevancy in the Age of Rapid Change.  I learned a lot.  

The Showcase of Hose Solutions taking place on Tuesday was the highlight of the event for me.  It provided an opportunity to network with many of my existing advertising customers as well as prospective new customers.

The real highlight was staying in touch with the many friends I have gained over my 16 years of attendance as well as adding some new friends this year.  I really value all of those relationships!  Thank you NAHAD for a wonderful event!

Closing Out

 Well, this is my last week of my fluid power career.  I have thanked and recognized many people in my previous posts but I want to thank and acknowledge Scott McCafferty, Managing Director of WTWH Media and friend for hiring me 7 years ago and allowing me to continue my career in fluid power.  Thank you Scott for your support and confidence in me!  It has been a pleasure working with you and I wish you continued success!  I also thank co-founder, Mike Emich for helping me with my career.  Mike has been a good friend and a steady good influence on many sales people.  Thank you Mike!
