Year you joined PJS team: 1998
Favorite PJS moment: At the 2000 Fred Meyer Challenge, my job was to escort Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus to the 18th hole for the opening ceremonies.

Hometown: Winthrop, Massachusetts (original); Hopedale, Massachusetts (current)
Education (school + major): Boston College, Carroll School of Management, Bachelor of Science in Finance
Year you joined PJS team: 2006
Favorite PJS moment: I had just joined PJS in late 2006, and traveled to Portland for our company meeting.  During a break I was calling home to say good night to my young kids.  Peter approached me and asked if he could talk to them and he did, which as one could imagine was extremely funny and a kind gesture.  I’m thankful my kids believed it was actually him and didn’t say anything to abruptly end my tenure at PJS!
Favorite aspect of working at PJS: I enjoy the fact that I love my job, and PJS has given me a great deal of freedom and responsibility to perform my function well. The PJS team is fantastic to work with. I also enjoy when people outside the company ask me what it’s like to work for Peter Jacobsen, to which I respond “He’s a great boss, just like you see on TV.”  Let’s just say that I could not have made that statement regarding some previous bosses in the corporate world!
Favorite golf professional: I’m going with Peter Jacobsen (outside the ropes) and Jack Nicklaus (inside the ropes)…. Final answer?!

The most inspirational sports moment, in your opinion: By rule I am required to answer “1980 Miracle on Ice”. The captain of the team, Mike Eruzione, is from my hometown.  Fun (useless) fact:  he served as my substitute teacher for a day during the school year (junior high at the time) prior to the team winning Gold at Lake Placid.  In all seriousness, that group of college kids beating the “unbeatable” Russian team serves as an inspiration that virtually anything is possible with hard work and perseverance.  Is it getting dusty in here?
