That’s so important for a person who has a position like his, particularly when it’s an expanding resort. “Sheldon has always struck a good balance between being a pain, which he never has been, and not being afraid to call and give me a concise summary of the challenges he was facing. “My disappointment would be coming back here and seeing that things didn’t change.”Īs Suga and his colleagues from around the Keys reflect on his career, the Marathon Weekly sat down with four who knew him in different arenas to better understand the legacy that began on Duck Key, but has made impactful waves from Key Largo to Key West. “I think the one thing I’ve instilled here is that there’s so much more potential,” he said. Though he has no plans to leave the Keys as he savors retirement with his wife Laura, Suga says he will enjoy sitting back and watching Hawks Cay’s evolution after his own 30-plus years in the industry. The list of awards won by Hawks Cay during his tenure could fill a page by themselves, and in November 2022, the FRLA honored his success with an induction into the FRLA Hall of Fame as the Hotelier of the Year. While at Hawks Cay, he’s chaired the Tourist Development Council’s District III Advisory Committee and the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association (FRLA)’s state executive committee, and served on the boards of the College of the Florida Keys, Marathon Chamber of Commerce and Visit Florida. With many resorts operating as borderline self-sustaining entities, Suga was unwavering in his commitment to serve the surrounding islands, whether through his Heroes Salute weekends to honor first responders or supporting local nonprofit KAIR through donated proceeds from guitar auctions in Hawks Cay’s Keys to Country concert series.
In an industry known for bringing in managers for short stints to open or reform properties, Suga’s 14-year career at Hawks Cay – spanning four management companies and three separate ownership groups – is a testament to his integration as a mainstay in Keys tourism and the Marathon community.
