Peter Whitfield

Born in Feilding, New Zealand. Peter Whitfield commenced a career in the international air cargo industry with Air New Zealand in 1966, joined a major UK-based forwarding agent in 1969, and was transferred to Melbourne Australia as Regional Sales Manager in 1973. Mr. Whitfield returned to New Zealand in 1975 and set up a new airfreight forwarding business, which was sold in 1978. Soon after he took up an equity position with a large Australian based forwarder and grew the business to enable a sale to a US group in 1985. He then purchased Universal Air Cargo Pty Ltd, (UAC) a small wholesale forwarder with two offices, 11 employees and $800,000 in annual sales.

UAC now has 10 offices in three countries (USA, Australia and New Zealand) and has annual sales of over $50 million. In addition to holding the major shareholding in UAC and maintaining the position of Chairman and CEO, Mr. Whitfield also has financial interests in the wine industry, and owns a substantial position in both a digital animated film production company and a computer peripheral business (all in Australia). He serves on the Boards of Directors of the four companies. Mr. Whitfield received his degree in Commerce and Administration from Victoria University, and now resides in Manhattan Beach, California.

Pete Egoscue

You can't pigeonhole Pete Egoscue. He doesn't fit into a nice, neat category. He has no formal medical or physical therapy training. In fact, he graduated with an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Utah State University, specializing in "jockdom" (or sports). He then went on to serve as an Infantry Officer in the United States Marine Corps for ten years, resigning his commission in 1978 as a Major. In an effort to describe or put a label on him, long time friend and client Jack Nicklaus calls Pete an "Anatomical Functionalist" and goes on to say, "Pete Egoscue has totally changed my life. Never have I experienced such complete pain relief as I have by following the Egoscue Method." Pete's publisher, Bantam Books prefers the term "Anatomical Physiologist" when referring to Pete being consulted by some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment. But the bottom line is that Pete Egoscue has been successfully helping people relieve themselves of chronic pain since 1978.

He has authored four books, including the best selling book, Pain Free. He is also host of the extremely popular, nationally syndicated talk radio show, Pain Free. When you ask Pete to put a label on himself, he says, "I'm the Posture guy". Pretty modest for a man who is responsible for establishing over 18 clinics (and counting), world wide, with corporate headquarters in San Diego, California. In fact, the Egoscue Method is "the world leader in non-medical pain relief". Pete Egoscue is responsible for creating a therapy method that relieves chronic pain, and encourages peak physical performance for the young, the old, the athlete, the non-athlete, the famous, and the infamous. This unique method is based on the body's functional design - or posture. Therefore, to put it simply, Pete Egoscue is a "Posture Therapist" - a very good one!

Jack Nicklaus

No name is more synonymous with greatness in the sport of golf than the name Jack Nicklaus, and no single person has changed the face of the sport more than Jack Nicklaus, the player, the designer, and the goodwill ambassador.

Jack has been named "Golfer of the Century" or "Golfer of the Millennium" by almost every major golf publication in the world. He was also named Individual Male Athlete of the Century by Sports Illustrated, and one of the 10 Greatest Athletes of the Century by ESPN. Early in 2001, Jack was honored with the first-ever ESPY Lifetime Achievement Award, and he became the first golfer -- and only the third athlete -- to receive the Vince Lombardi Award of Excellence. Recently, he was honored with the Muhammad Ali Sports Legend Award.

Jack's competitive career has spanned five decades, and his legend has been built with 100 professional tournament victories worldwide and a record 20 major-championship titles. He is the only player in history to have won each of the game's majors at least twice (six Masters, five PGA Championships, four U.S. Opens, three British Opens, and two U.S. Amateurs), and is the only player to have completed the career "Grand Slam" on both the regular and senior tours.

The legacy Jack has left as a player can be rivaled only by the legacy he is leaving as a golf course designer.

Jack was named GolfWorld Architect of the Year in 1993, and in 1999, Golf Digest named him the world's leading active designer. In 2001, he was named recipient of both the Donald Ross Award (American Society of Golf Course Architects) and the Donald Rossi Award (Golf Course Builders Association of America), and was honored with the International Network of Golf's Achievement in Golf Course Design Award for 2000-2001.
