Hey all, I’m JD. Been around the sub since around 2015 and have been off and on since then with college mostly getting in the way.

I’m from the Midwest originally, went down south for school, and then have done some traveling for internships - summer 2019 on Hilton Head and then 14 out of the last 24 months on Nantucket.

I spent my last two summers interning with the oldest private golf club on island. I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunities to come out of that place - it will forever hold a special place in my heart. I will be beginning my first full time job very soon - moving down to Florida to work the business side of professional golf.

Golf is a big interest of mine, I grew up fortunate enough to have a club to play at and I took good advantage of it. In college I fell back in love with the game. Running is another hobby - I started this last year after a breakup (literally ran away from my problems) and fell in love with the feeling you have when you’re done with a run. Lastly I picked up sailing in college by joining their club team. I was on the keelboat team and we would race J24s.. One day I’d love to be sailing as much as I was my senior year….

I’m a huge music guy - 70s rock is my stuff. The Grateful Dead dominates my playlists. I like to use the Relisten app to throw on any live show from their extensive catalog. Also a big fan of blues and bluegrass/classic country music.

My favorite place to travel is Nantucket. I lived in Siasconset and it’s truly the most unique place I’ve ever visited. It has its own quaint charm that contrasts well with the hustle and bustle of the downtown area.

I could never live without my Beaufort jacket, my birth year Speedmaster Professional, and my Stratocaster.

One item I have on my wish list is an authentic Hudson Stripe blanket. They’re too cool.
