From the Fairway to the Boardroom – The Inscriber Magazine
I recently sat down with The Inscriber Magazine to talk about something I don’t discuss often—how my years as a Division I golfer fundamentally shaped the way I build companies today.
The conversation went deeper than I expected. We talked about discipline, yes, but also about pain, patience, and what it really means to play the long game when everyone around you is sprinting.
Every morning, I still run my day like a tournament schedule. Time blocks for deep work, meetings, training, recovery—each protected with the same intensity I once brought to the course. But it’s not just about productivity. It’s about understanding that your daily routine shapes your long-term performance, whether you’re building a swing or building a business.
The article explores how competitive golf taught me to think clearly under pressure, to reset quickly after setbacks, and to visualize outcomes before taking action. These aren’t just sports techniques—they’re the same muscles I use when the stakes are high and everything is moving fast.
One thing that surprised the interviewer was my advice to aspiring entrepreneurs: meditate and get to know yourself deeply. Ask yourself what you really want. Most people will say money, cars, success. But that’s surface level. I chased money for years until I realized what I truly wanted was peace. That shift changed everything—because once you operate from peace, the mind is sharper, intuition is clearer, and opportunities align more naturally.
We also talked about my philosophy for building companies: stay small long enough to become big enough. It means building strong foundations—team, culture, systems—before attempting to scale. Too many businesses grow too fast without the internal maturity to support it, like an amateur trying to play a professional course.
The piece covers a lot of ground, from my transition out of professional golf into entrepreneurship, to how I discovered blockchain in 2017, to the specific ways I help structure businesses today.
If you’ve ever wondered how competitive sports translate into business success, or you’re curious about building something that lasts rather than just grows fast, I think you’ll find the conversation valuable.
