Happy New Year! This is a special episode as Jason Bilotti, founder of Istruzi, my business partner and sponsor of the show, hijacks the Golf Guru Show and turns the tables and interviews me for a change. In his words, he wanted to give you the listener some insight into my background and to get to know me better. For those of you who are new to the show or haven't followed my career this is probably the most raw, honest and transparent that I have been during an interview in a long time so I hope you enjoy this.

I also share some never told stories of my near death experience during one of my marathons in 2008 to a myriad of other topics such as Jasons take on his day observing my coaching to my passion for fishing and the importance of trying to find balance in our lives.  I want to take the time to thank all of you who have supported the podcast over the years.
