Stillman, who became a minority owner in March 2007, is chairman and CEO of Summit Distributing, a St. Louis-based beer distributor. He has built a group of local investors that includes his father-in-law, former U.S. Sen. John Danforth; Steve Maritz, CEO of Maritz Inc.; Donn Lux, CEO of Luxco; the Taylor family, owners of St. Louis-based Enterprise Holdings; and Dr. Rick Lehman.
