Naples - - - Bowling Management Associates would like to announce the hiring of JOHN HOUGH for the position of General Manager of HEADPINZ NAPLES.
Pat Ciniello, CEO of B.M.A., made the announcement today as a part of the company’s management moves at two facilities.
“I’m thrilled to get a person with the credentials that John brings to our team,” said Ciniello. “I couldn’t be more confident of the abilities that John will bring to the bowlers and our business in Collier County. I was very impressed by John’s work as tournament director for our No Strings Attached pro event earlier this year. This truly is a win-win for everyone involved.”
Hough has spent the last 12 years in management positions with the PUBLIX Supermarket chain. He’s been a bowler for more than 50 years and brings a resume on the lanes that is hard to beat---member of Hall of Fames in both Syracuse, NY and Southwest Florida, winner of the 1994 Team All-Events title at the USBC Open Championships, owner of 49 career 300 games/18 series of 800 or better and is a part-time bowler on the PBA50 (seniors) Tour.
Hough will take the reins in mid-January 2021 when current GM Marc Ciniello moves to the company’s latest project, FastTrax Entertainment in Lee County. “These are exciting times for our business,” surmised Pat Ciniello.
