Below is a portion of our award-winning team with many more working behind the scenes to make your program flawless.
HEADQUARTERS
SUNNY IRVINE
MANAGING PARTNER
-
Sunny was born and raised in Mexico and has called Los Cabos home since 1989. He graduated from the University of San Diego and was raised in the hospitality industry with a heavy emphasis on tour operations. He’s spent decades growing the family business to cover destinations across three countries. As an avid explorer and athlete, Sunny’s travels by motorcycle, plane and ship have taken him to many corners of the world, giving him a unique perspective on what clients are looking for and the experiences they’ve yet to even imagine. In his free time, you can almost always find the proud father spending time with family.
LEE CHIPMAN
MANAGING DIRECTOR, LATIN AMERICA
-
Lee joined Terramar in 2015 following a 30-year career in the hotel industry. He brings an understanding and empathetic viewpoint to both clients and their hotel partners thanks to his experiences working across cultures with teams throughout the US, Mexico and Panama. He has a deep appreciation for the beauty, warmth, and genuine, service-oriented nature of Latin American culture (not to mention the cuisine) and has called Los Cabos home for the past two decades. In his early years, Lee played the drums and performed as a musician at parties, but now you're more likely to find him in the kitchen whipping up his mother's recipes for Polish/German delicacies.
