What Superpower would you most love to have? Ability to fly would be awesome

What would you like to leave behind as your legacy once you are gone? I would like people to remember me as someone always gave the time of day to talk or listen, no matter the situation. I want to always be remembered as a great person to work with and as a great leader as well.

What does the honor of being named to the 40 Under 40 most mean to you? Being named to the 40 under 40 is a great honor and achievement. It is a daily goal of mine to have a positive impact on someone either through golf, leadership, or simply as a friend. I have always felt extremely fortunate to be where I am, especially in the golf industry and I have always felt I am surrounded by a great community and have the best office in the world! Being able to come to the golf course every day, be around and helping people, and providing memorable experiences is something I will always value. I feel it would be challenging to be nominated for the 40 under 40 if I wasn’t passionate about what I do and the team I get to do it with. For someone to recognize that is a very special compliment to receive and would like to express my gratitude for the nomination.
