Sail – I’ve sailed all my life, and I think its how I really got my first
taste of independence; out on the water as a kid.

Tell us about your ideal woman?
That’s a tough question. In a typical year I spend time in extremely
different places like Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic or
Stockholm, Sweden for example. I hate to generalize because it never
really works but Latin woman and Scandinavian woman have their
own unique and wonderful qualities. Wow it might take me a while
to figure that question out the more I think about it. Can I get back to
you on that one?
How often do you date?
No comment – not so much a “dater”
as I like to go out and enjoy myself;
the whole traditional dating
concept is passé in my eyes, but
maybe that comes from not
settling in one place, or living
on South Beach.

What is your perfect date?
If I were to consider it a “date” I guess maybe sailing
a couple miles off shore with a bottle of Clicquot for
the road.
Tell everyone about your first kiss…
I don’t kiss and tell… no just kidding. It was actually
at summer camp in Europe. Unfortunately it was
a heavy-set German girl who overpowered me.
Honestly, she pinned me down and laid a big wet one
right on my eye. I was petrified!
Who is the most beautiful person you know, inside and out?
My business partner’s wife, Lucia. We have known each other for so
long since we met in Paris nearly a decade ago, and its amazing to see
her grow, especially now that she is having a child this month and I’m
so happy for her.
Tell us something about yourself only your closest friends know.
I went through this phase in college where I got into European
fashion. All my American buddies were calling me Euro-trash!
What three things would you need to survive on a deserted island?
Obviously, a girl I’m compatible with first off. A 9-iron and some
floating range balls. Then I would say an outdoor gym so I could stay
in shape while enjoying the sun, followed by an airline ticket back to
civilization a few months later; I get uncomfortable when not in a big
city for more than a few days.
What do you find to be the most annoying habit people have?
Indecisiveness combined with a lack of drive. All too common.
Name the three most important things to you in this world.
Travel, Human interaction, Passion
What do you fear the most?
Losing my hair, though it has yet to happen! Seriously, running out
of time before I achieve everything I want to achieve in life. I feel
like the more I accomplish the more unaccomplished I really am.
Name a movie star you would like to go on a date with.
I’m thinking Laetitia Casta is the direction where I would
be going. When I was living in Paris she was an icon
doing ads for the famous Gallery Lafayette. She has
this powerful Corsican presence but remains feminine
at the same time.
What three people would you like to play with in your
fantasy golf foursome?
I would first take Donald Trump as he has
spearheaded so many successful golf projects
including Cap Cana where I’m hosting an
upcoming tournament, and the few times I’ve
met him, he’s always the entertainer regardless of
the company or setting. Throw in Tiger, and Bill
Clinton as well. Can you actually make this happen?
Is there anything else we should know about you?
I’ve been very fortunate to travel and live across the
globe, and play at many of the top courses in both
the United States and Europe. Traveling and golf
have been a big part of my life growing up. I enjoyed
it so much that I created JetSet Elite, a company that
does just that. In general I believe that you should be
passionate about what you do and most importantly never
limit yourself to your own backyard. Thanks for inviting
me to be part of Florida Golf Central.
