As the owner/operator of Gator Made Golf/Lucky 7 Designs, I have successfully established a thriving business in the golf industry nationally, along with merch apparel decorating and promotional products locally. Combining my passion for golf with entrepreneurial spirit, I have created two brands that offer unique customer experiences in the custom printing world.Building the Gator Made Golf/Lucky 7 Designs brands required the key responsibilities that I have learned in my 30+ years in Business Development, Product Design and Development, Operational Management, Sales, Marketing and Branding, Customer Relationship Management, and Financial Management.Through my dedication and entrepreneurial drive, Gator Made Golf has grown over the last 12+ years into a recognized and respected brand in the golf industry throughout the United States and Canada. That same dedication and spirit allowed us to pivot into a new venture with Lucky 7 Designs at the beginning of the Covid pandemic. By pivoting we were allowed to build a local brand for custom merch apparel with screen printing and embroidery, along with promotional and marketing products. I take pride in my ability to balance creativity with business acumen, and continually delivering exceptional products and services wherever I see a need.
