Cory Gregory: Lunge & Learn Podcast
I was a guest of the Lunge & Learn Podcast with Cory Gregory in October 2021 alongside my wife Kiki. She is a sponsored athlete with Max Effort Muscle, and the podcast talks about how both of us have managed success in our professional lives while still being there for each other. I also discuss some of my favorite networking strategies and talk about how I originally got my job at the PGA TOUR.
Tokyo 2020: USA GOLF
I had the priviledge over attending the 2020 Tokyo Games (held in summer '21). While it was a unique experience due to the COVID-19 outbreak and limited fans, it was still incredible to be there and help be a part of Team USA. I served as the Communications and Media representative for USA GOLF, which won the gold medal. I worked with Xander Schauffele on media throughout the event and after he secured the gold. I was able to talk about some of my experience with the Ohio University alumni network in this article.

After the PGA TOUR launched its new marketing strategy, I was tasked with launching the TOUR's influencer marketing program. Ahead of the 2017 playoffs in New York City, I spoke with Michelle Castillo from CNBC about the strategy. Full article here.
