A year ago, Owen’s life looked completely different.

A year ago, Owen’s life looked completely different.

After losing his job and being unsure what came next, he started sharing his journey publicly on LinkedIn. One post became another. Posts created conversations. Conversations created relationships. Relationships created opportunities. That process led to companies, communities, and a network of founders, investors, golf industry leaders, and operators.

I don’t believe you need everything figured out to start.

Find a problem. Build the simplest solution. Get it in front of people. Listen. Improve. Repeat.

Start at Day Zero.

THE DISCOVERY ROOM

Great products don’t always have great distribution.

Great products don’t always have great distribution.

I’m building relationships across PGA Professionals, Directors of Golf, private clubs, operators, and emerging brands to help close the gap between a strong product and the people who make purchasing decisions.

Interested in Golf Distribution

Let’s build something.

Whether you’re a founder, investor, operator, golf industry leader, or simply working on something ambitious, I’d love to hear what you’re building.
