 As a member of Midtown Bannockburn, I experienced first hand the truly professional work Steve did as general manager. His attention to detail and the way he related to both staff and members was truly outstanding. Steve is very passionate about anything he seems to take on and an inspiration to those he comes into contact with. Too bad we lost him to the sunny south!

 I have worked closely with Steve Strumpf in many capacities. I am a member of the Midtown Athletic Club which he manages and I own a business and have partnered with Steve and Midtown on community events. On all fronts, Steve has exhibited excellent leadership that makes working with him an absolute pleasure. Always responsive, Steve follows through on every commitment and makes sure details are covered. He is efficient, customer oriented, and always professional. Most notably, Steve is highly respected and very connected in the community, and with a call or two from him, things happen quickly. It is a pleasure to know him as a business colleague, community partner, and friend.

 The Midtown Athletic Club is a big part of the superior quality of life south Florida residents expect and enjoy. It helps make Weston the most desired residential family community in South Florida.  Under the leadership and direction of Steve Strumpf, General Manager, the club has evolved over the last 8 years as the premier fitness/tennis/swim resort in South Florida.  This cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, luxurious athletic/tennis/swim facility provides a comfortable, healthy refuge to celebrity athletes as well as budding child protégés.  Successful CEOs have the human sensitivity, business acumen, drive and talent to build superior companies. Steve is one of them. He can envision the big picture, visualize greatness and knows how to create a strategy and team to execute that success.  The leadership philosophy of the Midtown Athletic Center clearly focuses on delivering an exceptional customer experience for the benefit of its members. Steve has put together a uniquely effective staff who are clearly committed to excel in their individual contribution to the aggregate excellence of the organization. The result is top-of-the-line services, within an immaculate, elegant, athletic and tennis swim resort that has earned an incomparably superior reputation in Florida.  ...and it gets better...it always does, because the club is constantly looking for ways to understand, anticipate and implement ways to improve the member experience and make the club even more impressive.  Steve is a great team builder not only within the walls of the Midtown athletic center complex but also in the community at large. He has perfected the art of building a company with an enviably strong community presence. As a respected, intelligent and sensitive business leader he personifies the qualities of a responsible, concerned and supportive corporate entity. With both a physical and virtual presence, the Midtown Athletic Center is ‘present’ and involved in making a positive contribution to the Weston community at most every turn. The club has become a vehicle for public awareness for issues of health, wellness as well as creating, sponsoring and facilitating “fun and successful” fundraisers for worthy organizations benefiting our community.  At the core of every superior company is superior leadership. Steve is a reliable, responsible talented driven General Manager that you can always count on to give more than 100% in anything he does. In addition, he is an easy likeable guy, with personality that balances a can-do confidence with humility and he clearly enjoys helping others succeed.  Steve knows how to build an exceptional company and could likely turn any average enterprise into a formidable fortune 500 business competitor. Luckily for us in South Florida, he has done this via the Midtown Athletic Club.

 I have known Steve for over 5 years. He is a true leader and valuable asset to our community. He is a person who set goals and then accomplishes those goals. Initially it was the transformation of Midtown Athletic Club from a aged club into the premier Athletic Club in South Florida. But more important is his tireless effort with local charities and civic organizations where he helps drive many of the recruiting and fund raising activities. Things seem to get done and done well around Steve!

 As we approach Association of Fundraising Professional’s National Philanthropy Day, I am reminded of past recipients of the national prestigious award, in Broward County. Midtown Athletic Club was the 2012 Corporation (small) Honoree. I served as the co-chair of the event attended by nearly 700 and had the pleasure of getting to know the Midtown Team. This team is led by Steve and he has a heart for all things philanthropic. He is continuously supporting organizations like SIDES, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Jason Taylor Foundation, 211 Broward and countless other organizations. While I was an executive board member of SIDES, I witnessed firsthand how his passion and his can do attitude impacts fundraising success. He spearheaded the SIDES Spin-a-thon, raised funds through the SIDES Morning Muffin program and made imperative connections for a successful SIDES Golf Tournament and Country Jam. He is a natural networker and enjoys connecting others. If you are a member, a visitor or a prospective member of the club, you are welcomed with open arms by himself and his staff. He is a true asset to the community.

 Leadership defined: "The ability to inspire others to follow." That sums up the character of Jim Martin. I have had the distinct privilege of working with Jim. In my 30 years plus experience I have learned more from Jim than all others combined. In addition, I would highly recommend Jim to any operator because of his integrity, drive and passion to hit the numbers. He does it by building successful teams and hard work. Jim also provides the stellar experience in the marketing, sales and management roles. In my 5 yeas of managing Jim, as the Regional Sales and Marketing Director at TCA, he exceeded and hit his numbers on a consistent basis month after month. I would highly recommend Jim to any organization searching for an experienced regional sales and marketing professional. If you hire Jim... get ready to make some money!!!
