MANAGING MEMBER
A native Arkansan that moved to the St. Louis area in 1980 and has been there since. He is a freelance entrepreneur that relies on his 25 years in banking and technology to fool most of the people most of the time. The spirit moves him to play bad golf at a moment’s notice.

From the first tee at the Old Course in St. Andrews to getting a tip of the hat from Tiger Woods for a great shot in a pro-am event – Henry relishes getting to the next round and the stories it will bring.
