Hoekstra will accept the award.

“Troy Hoekstra was my third developer. I had wasted almost two years with the first two. I became a believer at our first meeting. I haven’t been disappointed. We encountered lots of headwinds but Troy doesn’t quit. I was impressed with his knowledge, experience, and persistence. We opened Chisago Grandstay Hotel and Suites on March 15, 2013. Troy made it happen. I would highly recommend him as a developer to anybody considering hospitality.”
