Speaker: Zach Smith Owner and Founder of Ceremony Brewing
Growing up in Naples, Zach Smith said, he often felt like an outsider. As an adult, his passion for the hospitality industry and desire for a place where everyone would feel welcome ultimately led to him opening Ceremony Brewing in 2021.  True to his belief that hospitality is simply about people, Smith also believes in giving back to help others. For the past two years, he has been an organizer of the Bonita Springs Citywide Trick-or-Treat and proudly sponsors the Bonita Estero Rail Trail (BERT).

THIS MONTH'S SPONSOR


In 2007, when FineMark (Formerly known as FineMark National Bank & Trust) opened its doors in Fort Myers, our goal was to create a company with service minded individuals—people who shared an entrepreneurial spirit and cared deeply about doing what is right—that would grow and prosper while remaining agile and dynamic. Since then, we’ve achieved that goal by hiring highly experienced, deeply committed, civic-minded financial professionals.
