Stan Chambers, West Coast Sales
Few in the spa business have as much experience as Stan Chambers. The Los Angeles native majored in communications at Loyola University, and took his first spa-industry job selling ads for Spa & Sauna in 1977. With Hester Communications, he started the first trade show for the spa business (Hot Water Conference & Expo) in 1979. In 1981 he launched a consumer spa and pool show in Southern California, which ran until 1990. He also started a quarterly consumer publication called Hot Water Living. From '85 to '87 he partnered these ventures with HBJ and was also marketing director for Spa & Sauna (which became AQUA in 1989). From the late ‘80s through the late ‘90s, Chambers ran the consumer show at local convention centers; in 1992 he joined Athletic Business Publications (which had purchased AQUA) to work on the AQUA Show, and in 1994 he took on West Coast ad sales. In his spare time, Chambers plays golf.
