I really know what it feels like to feel the “burn.” I overcame a traumatic injury that has now motivated me to enjoy life and try to accomplish whatever I put my mind to.  I was severely burned in sixth grade when a sixth-grade science experiment conducted by my teacher blew up, and I caught on fire!  I was rushed to ICU and underwent multiple surgeries.  I would not let this defeat me and turned a tragic event into an opportunity through the sport that helped me heal – golf.  I started the Priest James Foundation to help individuals who have suffered traumatic or emotional injuries heal through golf.  I love playing golf, and it has helped me as I continue to recover. I am a huge mixed martial arts and boxing fan and love attending UFC Events.  I started the podcast called the “Burn Factory,” where I interview guests on the “Burn Point” in their lives, which helped shape who they are today.  And then see if they can beat me in a round of golf! 

I'm 18 years old and the namesake of the 330+ location company, Phenix Salon Suites. From a young ago, I have been closely watching what it takes to take a brand from good to great. I love to learn and I have a knack for creating community and spirit. Throughout my life, I have tried almost every sport. During my high school career, golf became a tremendous outlet for me and passion. I love being in front of the camera whether it be for acting, hosting, or modeling. I bring my energy and passion to every project I participate in.  

When my brother, Priest, was involved in his accident, I felt this extreme protection over him unlike anytime before. I'm excited to work closely with him and embark on this podcast journey!
