Tom Noonan

My entire business career has been in marketing and sales. I started selling destratification fans some thirty years ago. Air Row Fan Company was DBA’ed in 2007, built up and sold in mid 2023.

I am a very proud family head of two daughters and two son-in-laws, four grandsons, two granddaughters, one great grandson and two great granddaughters. The adult grandchildren are launched and my daughters and sons-in-law are gliding down to their retirements.

I am not retired! I am on a journey of self-discovery as I grow and ground my wholeness.

With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I have built my career from the ground up—starting as a housekeeper and working through every department to gain a deep understanding of hotel operations. This hands-on experience has shaped my approach to streamlining processes, implementing effective systems, and driving financial success for hotel properties.

Today, I specialize in buying, selling, and managing hotels, focusing on operational efficiency, team development, and guest satisfaction. I am passionate about building and mentoring strong leadership teams, fostering a culture of collaboration, and creating an environment where exceptional service comes naturally. Through strategic planning and hands-on training, I help hospitality professionals understand the impact of teamwork and operational excellence in delivering outstanding guest experiences.

My goal is to cultivate financially successful properties by aligning people, processes, and service standards to create thriving hospitality businesses.
