My journey began with golf. It’s where I grew up, I worked on a grounds crew of a course at 11, and learned what it meant to be T.T. through the game of golf. It’s also where the seeds of my vision were planted—to give kids access to golf, mentorship, and life skills that build confidence, character, and purpose from the ground up.
When I was young, I watched Arnold Palmer “go for it,” I know firsthand how powerful golf can be when kids have the chance to learn it in a supportive environment. They’re not just learning to play a sport; they’re learning how to handle setbacks with grace, celebrate success with humility, and approach challenges with integrity. These traits don’t fade at the 18th green—they show up in real life, friendships, and future careers.
Golf also creates a natural space for mentorship. Because it’s played slowly and in small groups, there’s room for conversations, guidance, and shared experiences. As a young player and caddie, I benefited from adults who took the time to play alongside me, model leadership, and pass along life lessons in real time. Those moments left an imprint that extended far beyond the fairway.
Entrepreneurship has taught how to give back from the game, it is why I’m passionate about creating opportunities for young people to experience golf the way I did. With the right guidance, the game becomes more than a pastime—it becomes a training ground for character, confidence, and the skills kids need to navigate life’s ups and downs with strength and purpose.
