CURRENT MISSION

Making my first documentary, and building a school in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

ABOUT ME: I spent about 15 years as a golf professional in Arizona and Michigan. Now I manage my own non-profit foundation that helps young adults to overcome abuse and generational poverty through education and mentorship programs.

I took my first "real" trip out to California when I was 18. It was me and 4 friends from high school - crammed into one car driving from Michigan all the way out to the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base in Southern California - 3000 miles, non stop! It was great and I've been hooked on traveling every since.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the best "you" you can be everyday.
