Meet the Host
I have a passion for golf that started when I was 12 years old playing with my father. I took lessons with a gentleman named Ken Friend at Tides Golf Club in Seminole, Florida, and I have loved the game ever since. I grew up idolizing Jack Nicklaus. The '75 & '86 Masters remain two of my favorite sports memories.
Gary Player has been a big influence in my life, not only in my golf game but also regarding health and nutrition. As I said to Mr. Player recently, every time I'm tempted to go to the freezer for a bowl of ice cream, it's his voice that I hear in my head saying, "come on man that's poison!" Mr. Player has become a wonderful friend since first joining back in 2014.
Augusta National is my favorite place on the planet. Attending The Masters tournament is one of the highlights of the year. I cherish walking those hallowed grounds. It gives me a feeling of wonder and excitement that has become a part of me and I never want it to leave.
I was born in Pittsburgh and the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates are in my DNA. I also lived outside of Boston for several years and spending time at Fenway Park and the Boston Garden, the Red Sox, and Celtics got into my soul.
Tranquil late afternoon rounds of golf with my father and son are a joy and my favorite time to play. My annual golf trip with my buddies is always another highlight of the golf year. I also enjoy going to our local PGA Tour SuperStore and testing out new equipment with my son; it's one of our favorite things to do together.
