I’ve been part of this organization for 13 years, and this event has a special place in my heart. The game of golf truly changed my life. It taught me patience, integrity, and perseverance that I carry into everything I do. That’s why I’m so passionate about not only growing the game but also helping shape the next generation of leaders through it.

On October 28, I’ll be taking part in the 2025 Joe Durant 100 Holes of Golf Marathon at the beautiful Links Course in Sandestin. It’s a full day of golf, but every swing supports First Tee Gulf Coast and the incredible work they do for kids in our community.

First Tee doesn’t just teach golf. It teaches confidence, character, and values that last a lifetime. My goal is to raise $3,000 to support kids through scholarships, mentorship, and programs that help them grow on and off the course.

So many of you have supported me over the years, and I can’t thank you enough. If you’d like to help, here’s how:

• Donate: Every bit helps, no matter the amount.

• Share: Tell your friends, family, and networks so we can reach even more people.

I’m beyond grateful for your continued support and encouragement. Together, we’re not just playing golf. We’re helping build game changers.
