Jonny
Jonny grew up in Madison WI. He learned to golf at a young age, played in several tournaments and worked at courses throughout much of his childhood. Early on, he appreciated how meaningful and beautiful the game of golf is, but was keenly aware how golf culture leans exclusive, starchy and overly formal.
After graduating with a degree in Philosophy and an entrepreneurial spirit in tow, he started a photography business with his wife Michelle that is going strong 17 years later.
Never having lost a love for golf or artistic creation, Jonny saw an opportunity to create a golf brand with a purposeful platform and design, that doesn’t exist in today’s saturated market of polos.
Enter, Good Lion Golf.
Taylor
Taylor played every sport besides golf while growing up in the suburbs of Chicago IL. Wishing he found the game earlier in life is one of the things that drives him to make it more approachable for everyone - as well as an overall disdain for khakis. He credits his college friends, brothers-in-law and father-in-law for finding the game at the age of 25, and for pushing him to improve his game (so he can one day beat them).
When he isn't spending time with his wife Erin and their 4 active kids, you can find him at the local muni (usually in the rough right of the fairway), or in whatever member-guest tournament might be happening that weekend.
When it comes to hobbies, in Taylor's mind, it doesn't get much better than being outside with friends, chasing that elusive feeling of a crisp iron shot...all while wearing something comfortable.
Muss
As childhood friends, Jonny and Muss grew up golfing at the nearby munis of Madison, playing matches for a rusted-out Oldsmobile hubcap that had been found on the side of the road. As adults, they now play for highly coveted bragging rights.
Currently residing in Florida but having spent many years abroad, Muss extends the Good Lion presence and family to new corners of the country and globe.
After a couple of decades as a pilot in the Air Force, Muss has officially gone from the flight suit to the jumpsuit.
