Jeff Klaiber

What motivates you?
Experiences motivate me. From the joy of doing things with my family, to competition as a member of a basketball or golf team, to finding new golf course challenges. One of my favorite motivators is initiating, developing, testing, and building a new golf course feature. When I am in the middle of an actual design or building project, I often have difficulty concentrating on or caring about anything else. Getting lost in the day’s project is what motivates me.

What does success mean to you?
Success to me is no more than a day well spent. This does not always include my family, designing a golf course or playing a new course, or working with my hands building something, but these are on the short list of items that lead to a day well spent for me.

How do you feel you add to the client experience?
I often try to imagine being one of my clients. This position was common in my days working for Pete Dye and experiencing some of the world’s great golf designs for the first time. I greatly value breadth and depth of knowledge. As a pseudo teacher I can only hope for my client’s attention and some curiosity to the subject matter. I feel my personality and passion come through with my golf groups. In the end, I hope my clients return to their normal golf courses with a completely fresh view of golf design and the game, strategy, and perception of their place as players in golf. And that my enthusiasm for unique experiences in golf courses rubs off on them.

What is your passion?
My passion is design, specifically reinventing the wheel of golf course challenges. When I first played a Pete Dye course at the age of 19, I was shocked. I had never seen golf course features so imaginative, difficult, and creative. The green undulations, tee box shapes and orientation, severe fairway shaping, tension, surprises around every corner or dogleg…fascinating, mesmerizing. Finding an original idea for a bunker shape might be my favorite passion.​

Luis F. Valdes, Ph.D.

​​​CEO, Psychogenyx, LLC,
​www.psychogenyx.com

What motivates you?
To be involved in a process, project, team, or organization that seeks improvement toward high-performance. I also seek to integrate my skills with the skills of other people to achieve and even go beyond what we thought was possible.

What does success mean to you?
I like what the legendary John Wooden says “Success is peace of mind that is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”

How do you feel you add to the client experience?
I apply my experience of formally studying human behavior for over 40 years with curiosity, commitment, and compassion.

What is your passion?
Solving challenging puzzles because life is a series of challenging puzzles that demand that you use your intelligence, creativity, judgment, and intuition to survive and thrive. If you are fortunate, you just might be able to do that with grace, humility, gratitude and integrity.

Jon Howse

Account Executive, Graphic Services

What motivates you?
Being with people motivates me. Whether it’s my family, my friends, or my clients, I am motivated by the interaction that takes place. Also, I often find myself motivated by the little things in life, such as a cool breeze, a waterfall, or a steady rain.

What does success mean to you?
Success for me is both personal and professional. Personally, it’s time spent with my kids, grandkids and friends. Smiling and laughing is the epitome of personal success for me. Professionally, consulting with my clients and delivering what they need is success. When they look good, we both win.

How do you feel you add to the client experience?
The experience from almost 40 years in the industry allows me to offer a wide range of branding solutions to my clients. The consultative process is the key to giving my clients what they need to promote brand. At the outset, we start with a clean slate and through identifying pain points and detailed communication regarding branding wants and needs, we collectively identify the products that will work best for them. Again, we both win.

What is your passion?
My children and grandchildren are my passion and bring me the biggest joy in my life. I’m also passionate about music, the outdoors and watching cars go fast.
