OYC STAFF
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 the 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, marine services, social events, sailing school and races and a charming guest chalet for nightly and extended use.

Barb Steinman, Accounting Administrator
After 38 years in banking, Barb was ready to retire to the lake, a place she had come to since childhood. She was ready to relax and enjoy her view of the Lake. After a year of relaxing, she decided she needed to do more, so she took a part-time position at OYC where she is still able to enjoy the view of the Lake.
