I love golf.  And I love business golf.  It has enabled me to meet some of the most fascinating people on the planet, like Tiger Woods, Donald Trump, Gary Player and the King -- Arnold Palmer.  In fact, I love golf so much that during a 101-day period in the summer of 2014, I played golf in all 50 states -- yes, including Alaska and Hawaii!  I did that to launch a wellness media program I'm hosting called Wellness 101 (www.wellness101life.com), part of the Eclipse family of brands.
 
In 1999, I created Eclipse Sports & Entertainment, LLC, a media production firm I created to make a difference in the world.  So far, we've done a pretty good job at Eclipse, helping charities raise more than $25 million, helping celebrities learn how to use their celebrity capital in great ways (like helping Carmelo Anthony get involved with violence prevention programs in Baltimore and getting U.S. Soccer and Major League Soccer to support a documentary film I produced to help an inner city soccer nonprofit called Soccer In The Streets) and opening the eyes of entrepreneurs and corporate execs as to how they can use golf to really make a difference in their communities and add to their bottom line at the same time.  Yes, it can be done!  There's still a LOT of work to be done in that area. Eclipse also trains people to become golf event consultants.  As a writer, I enjoy many styles.  I write books, articles, screenplays, song lyrics and poetry.  I've been published a few hundred times.  I write an inspirational column called "On the Tee with A.J. Ali" which often includes my celebrity friends.  I've written a personal development program with options including a life-changing devotional book, online coaching and a 3-day VIP Training Camp in Malibu and other exotic locales. I give True Champion's Challenge talks to groups all over the U.S.  Make sure you read the book -- "The True Champion's 30-Day Challenge." It'll change your life in more ways than one -- you'll be blessed and you'll become a greater blessing to someone else!  I've had my music played on the radio and was awarded a Hollywood FAME Award for National Community Service in 2007 for a song I wrote and a Tour that resulted from it helping cancer survivors.  The song is called "Through the Darkness, Into the Light."   As far as other work goes, I've created TV shows like Good Fellas of Baltimore and Wellness 101, started two pro soccer teams, a couple of PR and Marketing firms, built and sold a lawn and garden products company, learned from a few crash and burns and more than a few successes along the way.  I served my country honorably for four years in the U.S. Air Force and played for the Air Force Soccer Team.  Along the way, golf has always been a part of my life and my business life.  Last but certainly not least, my wife Jane and I are the founders of a nonprofit called Marathon of Miracles. It's a cancer prevention organization offering hope for the mind, body and spirit.  One of the MOM programs we created is Golf To End Cancer.  We ran the MOM programs for 8 years and then turned it over to our dear friend Shannon Gronich who is running it out of Melbourne Beach, FL.  Let's tee it up sometime!
