"While we have exceptional venues for groups with our private beach, 429-acres of space and the largest ballroom on the Cape, it takes more than a wonderful backdrop to attract groups and leisure travelers. Gordon has a proven track record of implementing strategic practices and creative programing to grow and strengthen the overarching resort experience for groups and guests, and we look forward to him raising our bar to new heights."
Palm attended Akron University in Akron, OH from 1983 to 1987 until he joined the U.S. Army in 1987, where he went on to serve as a Specialist for eight years until 1995. He was honorably discharged with five medals of commendation.
