The summer has come and is almost gone. Time seems to fly when the weather is at its best. Since my last post the mini tour schedule took a bit of a lull, as it does every year surrounding 4th of July season. During this short break I had the honor of being the best man in a fellow Peake Pal member's wedding. The groom has been my best friend since childhood and it was an incredible time and a huge honor.

I spent my Fourth with my family in Pinehurst for a weekend of golf, cold drinks and firew… Continue

My hectic summer travels have continued over the past month since I last checked in. Following my previous post I played in a tournament in Charlotte, NC as part of a stop on the Tarheel Tour.

The Winter months allowed me to build a lot of confidence in my game making 8 of the 9 cuts, highlighted by an 8th, and two 11th place finishes.

Folowing the conclusion of the Winter Series brought about the busy traveling of the Spring and Summer. I made my way to Amelia Is… Continue

(Cutting the Velvet Ropes) I had a great week reinforcing some sales lessons in both my business lives I will post on later but wanted to post on an awesome 75th bday party held for my college roommate's dad this past weekend. This isn't going to be a long CR wordy blog but just one which I reflect to myself what really matters in life.
