Dieter Ungerboeck, President

Dieter learned to sail as a child in Europe, which has led to a 60 year passion for the sport.  He came to the United States in 1967  for graduate school and a career in Information Technology.  After 15 years with Ralston Purina Co., he started Ungerboeck Systems International (USI), now an industry-leading software company serving clients in about 50 countries from offices in USA, Europe, Asia and Australia.

In 2009, Dieter and his wife Catherine turned the day-to-day management of USI over to their four sons and focused their attention toward creating Ozark Yacht Club into a premier venue for power and sailing enthusiasts.  In 2010, OYC expanded to include 1,600 ft. of prime shoreline so the club's capacity can be increased in a beautifully landscaped setting with a full palette of year-around services ranging from boat slips, state-of-the-art fuel dock, Lakeside Cafe, marine services, social events, sailing school and races and a charming guest chalet for nightly and extended use.  Dieter and Catherine split their time at home in St. Louis and their home in Porto Cima.
