H AND SURGEON MICH AEL FITZMAUR ICE, MD Founder of the Fitzmaurice Hand Institute Double Board CertiďŹ ed Hand Surgeon

Dr. Fitzmaurice has performed thousands of minimally-invasive, endoscopic hand procedures in Arizona over the last decade.

You never appreciate how important the thumb is to regular activities until a tendon injury compromises movement.

Repetitive motion from everyday activities such as typing on a laptop or playing a favorite sport, can lead to swelling and inflammation of the tendon sheath, the condition known as De Quervains Tendinitis. This causes pain and limited mobility of the wrist and thumb.

Developed by board certified hand surgeon Michael Fitzmaurice, M.D., and available exclusively at the Fitzmaurice Hand Institute in Phoenix, Endotech uses a small incision and endoscope to repair the injured tendons.

Most patients experience immediate relief and improved movement immediately following the procedure, and can return to work in as little as one week!

De Quervains Tendinitis can now be treated by the state of the art, minimally invasive EndoTech Endoscopic De Quervains Release System.

How To Fix Your Thinning Hair Cutting-Edge Treatments with National Hair Loss

When you think of hair loss prevention you may think of medications, sticky foams, or expensive shampoos. National Hair Loss provides customized Hair Recovery Programs, which have been widely publicized by celebrities including iheart Radio DJ Johnjay Van Es, to offer individuals a chance to take control of their hair loss with new cutting-edge treatments and top medical expertise.

At the first signs of hair loss, an estimated 50% of hair has already miniaturized, decreased blood flow to the hair follicle causes hair density to progressively miniaturize, and hair becomes thinner and thinner. Our Hair Recovery Programs are at the forefront for hair loss prevention and hair restoration therapies.

PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) & GROWTH FACTORS

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HAIR LOSS TODAY

National Hair Loss implements a state-ofthe-art centrifuge proven to provide the highest platelet concentrations, harvesting 10x the amount of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) than the average. A high concentration of PRP limits the need to have patients doing 5-6 costly sessions and our patients have had success with one to two PRP sessions. PRP procedures add human-derived growth factors from neonatal cells grown under stimulated conditions. The growth factors and proteins within the platelets are released around the hair follicle to help with the regeneration process and stimulate growth.

The key to fixing your thinning hair is to be proactive. We offer a multitude of cuttingedge treatments including hair analysis scan to identify macro minerals (metal toxins), bacteria, and your food allergies. National Hair Loss offers no-cost Hair Evaluations to provide education, recourses, and treatment to men and women experiencing Alopecia.

Our customized Hair Recovery Programs have a 98% success rate at stopping hair loss and has been so successful we are able to offer a money back guarantee.

FIRST SIGNS OF HAIR LOSS

CUSTOMIZED HAIR CARE

• • • •

If you have dandruff you would use a dandruff shampoo, if you have hair loss you should be using a hair loss shampoo.

Simply saying, if you have thinning hair you should gravitate towards a shampoo that is designed to stimulate growth. Hair care is the #1 easiest way to slow down hair loss.

There are clinically proven naturally based products available for thinning hair that help stimulate the scalp and boost the natural growth of thicker and fuller-looking hair while improving follicle strength.

TOP CAUSES OF MALE HAIR LOSS • • • •

Hereditary DHT Sensitivity Testosterone Replacement Steroids

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AT NATIONAL HAIR LOSS FOR THINNING HAIR? Male Pattern Baldness treatments often include Propecia, which has the potential of unwanted side effects, or Rogaine that slows down the loss and is habit forming. At National Hair Loss our treatments are light years from the days of “hair plugs,” and focus on prevention therapies to help the existing hair from being susceptible to the hormone that cause hair loss (DHT). Our treatment options combat hair loss with no side effects and are more likely to add density, with up to 66% in thickness in some cases.

CLINICAL STUDY INFORMATION • 46% noticed an increase in hair growth • 48% reported a decrease in DHT (hormone) that contributes to hair loss • 35% witnessed an increase in hair follicle strength • 70% saw an increase in repair effect improving hair anchoring • 76% experienced an increase in collagen directly increasing follicle size • 58% noticed a decrease in fiber breakage

Experts in MonaLisa Touch News Update: The MonaLisa Touch has now been FDA approved in the U.S. for over 2 years and at Arizona Women’s Care more than 800 procedures have brought amazing results to women across the Southwest region. This amazing NON HORMONAL treatment for vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, frequent bladder or vaginal infections and other symptoms that result from a lack of estrogen has revolutionized our success in treating these disheartening issues.

In a recent Stanford University study, reductions in dryness and painful intercourse were especially marked, dropping an average of 75% and 66% respectively. As Lindsay (age 56) states, “I was skeptical, but I needed to try something. After the 3 treatments, intercourse was so much better I could not believe it. I actually asked my husband if we could do it again, and he was shocked! It has made such a difference in our relationship.”

The MonaLisa Touch uses fractional CO2 laser therapy

to regenerate collagen and rid the vaginal mucosa of the dry atrophic cells. Three simple treatments in the office 6 weeks apart have shown incredible improvements in vaginal atrophy.

These treatments take about 5 minutes and are virtually painfree, no anesthesia is needed.

As women caring for women, our expertise and customer service are unsurpassed in the valley. Our staff of all-female physicians were the 1st board certified OB/GYNS in the state of Arizona to perform the MonaLisa Touch procedure. We welcome you to any of our open house seminars to learn more about the MonaLisa Touch! You will have the opportunity to meet with the doctors and talk with the patients who have had this life changing procedure.

One last testimonial from Rhonda (age 61) sums up why we do what we do, “Thank you Arizona Women’s Care for offering me the MonaLisa Touch! It is an amazing treatment. I am 100% back to feeling like I did 20 years ago!”

WHICH IS THE BETTER INVESTMENT? COLLECTOR COINS VS BULLION

1

MANY INVESTORS GET TALKED INTO BUYING COLLECTOR COINS WHEN IN REALITY THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO SIMPLY BUY GOLD OR SILVER, SO WHICH IS THE BETTER WAY TO GO?

A: Select Rare coins are a good

investment for certain people.

The catch is that many dealers are selling very common coins, which have lost value the past 20 years. Only a tiny part of the rare coin market has gone up in value since the 1990’s. The coins that have appreciated are not typically the coins being pushed by average salesman.

Many dealers talk investors into common coins such as $20 Liberty and $20 St. Gaudens coins to name a couple. These coins have appreciated less than half as much as gold since 2000.

Once you add the heavy mark ups of as much as 40%, the profits all but disappear.

2

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BUY PRECIOUS METALS SUCH AS GOLD, SILVER OR PLATINUM?

A: Gold and silver bullion coins such as U.S. Eagles have minimal markups and follow the price of the precious metal.

They are much easier to buy and sell and are easy for the average investor to value from day to day. Bullion can be bars or a variety of different coins that sell for a small premium over the price of the underlying metal. The main rule in buying precious metals is “Keep it Simple”. You want to own something that is easy to sell and avoid the problem of having to determine a collector’s value of the coin.

3

IF PEOPLE OWN RARE OR COLLECTOR’S COINS, WHAT IS THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION TODAY?

A: First, find out exactly what

the coins are worth, how they have performed and how liquid they are in the market place.

Many of my clients have traded out of non-performing collector coins and into gold, silver or platinum bullion coins. Others simply decided to cash out after they realized their investment really wasn’t doing what they expected. Every once in a while we find that someone actually has a super rare coin that has done well, but it’s usually the exception.

If you currently own any type of collector coins or simply wants a review of your portfolio, call American Federal Rare Coin and Bullion at 480-553-5282 for a complimentary Coin Portfolio Review. Reach us by email us at info@americanfederal.com

ed note

W

elcome to our man issue! As our only themed issue of the year, this one is always particularly fun to put together as it seems to tell a cohesive story that’s all about (and dedicated to) the guys.

Dude food and drinks? We’ve got them, with binge-worthy burgers (page 104) and classic takes on manly cocktails (page 102), plus statewide breweries to explore (page 68).

For fun? There’s an all-new – and Scottsdale’s only – billiards lounge (page 106), macho ways to stay entertained (page 70), a fly fishing getaway (page 80), and four ultimate racing experiences (page 90).

Looking good? We’ve got that too, with the best products to help you maintain your beard (page 84), manly must-haves for your home (page 86), and our annual feature on men of style (page 46), where seven men share their fashion know-how.

There are some extras, too, like a luxury electric bike with street-smart style courtesy of Emory Motorsports (page 79) and an indulgent, ultra-cool summertime treat fit for a hungry man (page 103).

Of course, there’s no denying the man on our cover – the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Paul Goldschmidt. I was particularly thrilled to include, and inspired by, Goldy’s story (page 42). Beyond being an All-Star athlete and a father, he truly (and fittingly!) has a heart of gold. He’s used his public position as a platform for giving back, not only with monetary donations, but, perhaps more rare and special, through his own time. Off the field, you’ll find him, along with his wife, spending time with the kids at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

With that, men, this one’s for you. And to all the dads (including mine!), a very happy Father’s Day.

DINNER IS SERVED

The secret recipe to John Stewart’s meal delivery service, Sunfare

BY BRITTANY MARONEY PHOTOS BY JAMES PATRICK

W

hen you’re hungry, health-minded or on the go, there’s almost nothing worse than opening an empty fridge and wondering what you’re going to make for dinner. In today’s busy society, healthy and quick options for meal time are at a premium. Families have less time to prepare home-cooked dinners and busy adults are looking for at-home alternatives to fast food. At minimum, Arizonans are seeking healthy meals that will help them maintain their waistlines – without sacrificing taste.

John Stewart’s meal delivery company, Sunfare, believes they have the answer. continued…

no t iced

up close In 1997, Stewart was living in Los Angeles, where he says he happened upon the food industry. “I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and I ended up working in the fitness industry,” he says. “At the time, the Zone Diet had become all the rage but there was one problem. Nobody had the time to make the meals. That’s where we saw the opportunity to start Sunfare and to make healthy eating easy for people.”

Along with business partner Carl Ferro, Sunfare moved to Scottsdale and began addressing a very different issue.

Everyone wanted something different from a plan and each client had a very different palate.

“The key was that if people didn’t like that day’s option, they wouldn’t eat it … and they wouldn’t get the results they wanted,” Stewart says. “So, we started giving people the ability to customize their own meals by removing ingredients they didn’t like and giving them different meal choices each day, so they could always find something appetizing. That kind of personalization made a huge difference and continues to set us apart today.”

Now, Sunfare boasts a daily delivery service to more than 1,000 families per day across both Arizona and Los Angeles.

Each personalized menu is cooked fresh

daily and delivered to front doors by 7 a.m.

Sunfare offers six gourmet meal programs to fit the dietary needs of even the pickiest patron, including options for vegetarians, Paleo, gluten-free and family dining.

It was back in 2001 that the Sunfare meal plans began getting national attention. During that particular summer, actor Charlie Sheen had lost weight and several media outlets wanted to know his secret.

Sheen proudly championed the Sunfare service on nationally syndicated shows like The Rosie O’Donnell Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Entertainment Tonight, and On Air With Ryan Seacrest.

“The next morning, phones across the Sunfare office were ringing and orders were pouring in. It was so exciting,” Stewart says. “We had no idea he was going to do that, and we’re still grateful for it.“ Now, A-list eaters like Jack Black, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, Ashley Greene, Mark Wahlberg and Britney Spears swear by the Sunfare meal delivery service.

Stewart also notes that actress Jennifer Aniston was their sixth client.

“We’ve been in the industry for close to 20 years, and one of the most rewarding parts has been building a great team, a group that believes in the collective good of the business,” Stewart says. “I’m

proud to say that our team at Sunfare right now is the best, most hard working, and most passionate we’ve ever had – it’s just an awesome family to be a part of.”

Family and Community And speaking of family, Stewart calls his wife a “rock star,” and he is a proud dad to two little boys.

“I love that each day I get to do both – be an entrepreneur and daddy,” he says. “It’s super satisfying and a lot of fun to hold [my kids’] hands and guide them through life. To make it all work is a bit of a juggling act, but at the end of the day, I’m extremely fortunate.”

With the meal delivery business grossing more than $400 million annually, Stewart admits it’s a competitive industry.

That’s why innovation and integrity are still the roots of the Sunfare brand — and why Stewart is always looking for the newest trends in food and convenience.

“Something that’s really exciting is the whole local, farm-to-table approach to food preparation. Not only is it good for the environment, but it pushes you creatively in terms of menu design and our possible meal offerings. We have an entire product line called Artisan Meals that we’re devoting to this philosophy.”

For a leader like Stewart, his company is more than just the product. It’s about healthy living, family and, of course, the community.

“We’re feeling great about the direction and growth of our company, but more so, we believe in supporting the community we live and work in,” Stewart says. “That’s why, in addition to supporting several local charities, we also donate weekly meals to local food banks.”

The company also calls on regular patrons of Sunfare to give back. Every December, customers are encouraged to place canned foods back in their delivery boxes for donation.

“This is a great community,” Stewart says of the Valley. “It’s our community, and Sunfare is going to make sure everyone is well fed.”

The Beauty of Benevolence How Drs. Ali and Tamir Mosharrafa of Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery are improving lives, in both their practice and the communities they serve.

P

erhaps it’s their steadfast commitment to ongoing education, providing patients with the most up-to-date procedures and techniques – or the unsurpassed results, a perfect marriage of art and science. Maybe it’s the proven expertise and extensive education of Drs. Ali and Tamir Mosharrafa, or the way they take the time to develop relationships with their patients, understanding unique needs and meeting specific goals, making themselves available day or night. Whatever the reason, Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery continues to receive accolades from satisfied patients and fellow medical professionals alike. Boardcertified and equipped with their own fully accredited, state-of-the-art surgery center, Dr. Ali and Dr. Tamir deliver exceptional outcomes in every area of cosmetic and breast reconstructive surgery, aesthetic services, and skincare.

Breast, body, or face, Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery’s compassionate, supportive practice allows patients the luxury of being treated like family, and the reassurance of knowing they’re in extremely capable hands.

But when a doctor’s care goes beyond individual patients and extends throughout a community, even more amazing things happen. For nearly two decades (and counting!), Dr. Ali and Dr. Tamir have performed acts of service through their involvement with local charities. Still, they wanted to do more to provide consistent, reliable support to the causes they hold dear. In 2015, Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery officially launched its nonprofit organization, Beauty for Good – which now receives a portion of the proceeds from each treatment the doctors perform. In turn, Beauty for Good partners with other charitable organizations to help raise much-needed funds and awareness through special events and campaigns.

In April of this year, the organization hosted its first annual Beauty for Good

Gala, benefiting all of its charitable partnerships: the Phoenix Dream Center, Singleton Moms, Prevent Child Abuse Arizona, and more. (Save the date for next year’s Beauty for Good Gala, which will take place on April 14th, 2018.) In addition to the gala, Beauty for Good designates a full month to each of its partner charities, during which they focus intensely on its outreach. Dr. Ali and Dr. Tamir are passionate about each cause they support, and eager to give back to the community they love.

For the Drs. Mosharrafa, it’s all about making a substantial impact – on the lives of their patients, to be sure, but also the lives of those who benefit from their benevolent acts. “Cosmetic

surgery is a beautiful thing when it improves the life of one person,” says Dr. Tamir. “What an even greater experience it is when it improves the lives of many.”

Pomp Braswell takes on the PGA Tour Champions

BY ELIZABETH LIBERATORE

PHOTO BY JAMES PATRICK

omp Braswell’s golf story began with a high school dare – the professional golfer was dared by his friends to take a swing at the sport in 1986. Upon hitting 125 yards at Los Angeles’ Rancho Park driving range, Braswell became hooked.

Braswell continued to play golf at San Jose State University in California.

After graduating, he moved to Arizona in 1994, which is when his career as a professional golfer took flight.

While playing the sport full time, Braswell was also an instructor at Golf Digest from 2004 to 2008, and he continued instructing at the Jim McLean Golf School and made Golf Tips magazine’s top 30 instructors list. Braswell is also a former Harlem Globetrotter.

“Golf has opened up so many opportunities for me,” Braswell says. “All I can say is that I’m very fortunate.”

His latest venture will be the PGA Tour Champions, a worldwide tour that brings together PGA Tour veterans who are 50-plus years old, where the players will compete for the Charles Schwab Cup. “I’m nervous and excited,” he says.

“But those are good feelings to have.”

With more than 30 years of golf experience, Braswell offers advice to all the newcomers out on the greens: “Too many youngsters get caught in the glamour of getting far without control,” he says. “The best players have strong shorter games. That’s where attention should be focused – on the mini games.”

Etc.

What other things did you do in the Valley? When I lived in Arizona, I was on the golf board at UMOM. I also helped raise funds for Wounded Warrior Project since, as a veteran, the organization is close to my heart. What’s your favorite golf course in the Valley? It’s a tie between Mesa Country Club and Paradise Valley Country Club. Are your two children golf prodigies? Ironically, they hate golf. I always tell them, “Daddy can teach you,” but they could care less!

David Cogan inspires entrepreneurs, one broadcast at a time

BY BRITTANY MARONEY

D

PHOTO BY CLAUDIA JOHNSTONE

avid Cogan was born an entrepreneur. At just seven years old, he went door to door selling trinkets from his family junk drawer out of a little red wagon.

Ironically, years later, he would interview the CEO of Radio Flyer on his locally broadcast radio show, Eliances Heroes (Money Radio 1510 AM and 105.3 FM), a facet of Eliances, a local entrepreneur’s organization started by Cogan.

“The idea was to create a way to showcase a community of entrepreneurs who want to help one another build their businesses,” Cogan says. “It’s my belief that everyone has a unique skill they can provide to help one another. Our contributors consist of inventors, celebrities, mentors, startups and entrepreneurs – on both a local and national level.”

After a successful career at IBM, Microsoft and eBay, Cogan was inspired to create a radio show where local leaders could tell their stories alongside industry titans like Tim Cook.

“There are tremendous opportunities now for entrepreneurs,” he says. “It has never been easier to start a business, find resources, do research and make money.

I love telling the story of how a core idea is created and how entrepreneurs are able to wrap a business around it.”

Learn more about Eliances and catch the radio show at www.eliances.com.

You use your children in the broadcasts as examples of intuition and ingenuity – why is that? There is so much we can learn from children and the experiences our kids are having. It’s not just about teaching children; it’s about learning from them. Who are some of the most memorable leaders you’ve had on the show? The president of the United Nations had a great answer to the meaning of life, and you have to catch the broadcast of John Edward, the psychic from Crossing Over. I also enjoyed Indra Nooyi (CEO of PepsiCo) and Curt Jones (founder of Dippin’ Dots). What is one piece of advice that has always resonated with you? ​Simply put, always be kind. I​ was shown that by my parents and see it within my own family.

STYLE MAVERICK

Follow along with Samuel Harwit’s modern aesthetic

hen he’s not captivating audiences for the digital agency PUBLICpr, Samuel Harwit can be found cultivating his own following through The Frenchy Toast, a blog he created after noticing a general lack of male fashion and lifestyle influencers.

“It starts with thinking about who you’re targeting and determining what types of content will be most appealing,” Harwit says. This simple strategy, coupled with a background in marketing and public relations, has earned him nearly 150,000 style-hungry Instagram followers, all eager for a glimpse into his quirky world.

“Fashion is at the center of every single day,” he says. “People look to me for guidance and to inspire them to look great and feel better about themselves.”

Ironically, prior to founding The Frenchy Toast, Harwit admits to being a bit of a style copycat, rummaging through the virtual closets of his favorite influencers for personal inspiration. Since then, the blogger has come into his own, with his current look less about following trends and more about selecting designs that resonate with his simple aesthetic.

Most days, this translates to monochromatic streetwear with a modern twist.

Harwit’s signature uniform – a T-shirt, high-quality denim and major statement shoes – never falls short, even without an Instagram filter.

Follow Harwit to see for yourself at @samuelanthony.

Why “The Frenchy Toast”? Frenchy comes from our two French bulldogs and the name just came to me while [my partner and I] were conceptualizing the brand.

Is there any special meaning behind your body art? Every tattoo on my body has a significant meaning to me. I would be happy to walk you through them, but it would be a very lengthy response, given that I have so many. Which brands do you love? My top three brands are always Louis Vuitton, Cartier and YSL. I would love the opportunity to collaborate with all of them.

or Jacqueline Howenstine, everything hinges on the right outfit.

“It’s less about what the piece is and more about how it makes you feel when you put it on,” says the Yelp advertising sales rep of her style philosophy. “It might be a top that’s six years old, but when I wear it, I feel [on top of the world]. If you feel good, you perform better.”

When she’s at the office, turning noes into yeses and skeptics into believers, Howenstine unabashedly sticks to a casual dress code, living in dark jeans, wedges and edgy tops.

“For a long time, I was a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl,” she confesses. “I still love that, but I appreciate dressing up way more now and enjoy doing so.”

When the mood hits, she pulls inspiration from Jackie O and Twiggy, fusing the nuances of two classic icons to create a look that is entirely her own.

Off the clock, you’ll find the newly certified yoga instructor slaying sun salutations and practicing Sanskrit in sleek, curve-hugging athlesuire.

“I am a yogi, but not one that thinks yoga clothes are appropriate for every occasion!” Howenstine laughs. “Although I do love my Lululemon. The Align pant is a game changer.”

Walk us through your beauty routine.

I wear sunscreen every day! Our skin – and our health – is not something we can switch up like an outfit, so I try to take care of it. I moisturize [my entire body] with coconut oil every night to keep my skin smooth and supple. Favorite way to break a sweat? Yoga is my preferred physical activity. It has been great physically in terms of building strength and flexibility, but has also taught me mindfulness, patience and just meditative ways to let go of the small stuff. I collect … SHOES. I have a whole closet in a spare bedroom dedicated to shoes. MiuMiu ballet flats, the ever-comfortable Prada loafers, and, of course, I love my man Jimmy Choo – I wore a Swarovski Crystal nude pump for my wedding last year.

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ first baseman Paul Goldschmidt talks fatherhood, philanthropy, and his love of the game

BY BRITTANY MARONEY PHOTOS COURTESY OF SARAH SACHS/ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS

JUNE 2017 |

43

| SO SCOTTSDALE!

s Paul Goldschmidt approaches the plate, he can hear the swell of the crowd. His heart is beating fast and he welcomes it; the adrenaline always means a more powerful swing. He raises the bat, and, for just a moment, the cheers of the crowd fade. The faces of fans become a blur, and it is just him and the pitcher in the stadium. The ball comes fast, zooming toward the catcher’s glove. But with a crack, the ball soars high into the air.

The roar of the onlookers catches back up to him, and Goldschmidt – fondly known as Goldy to millions – runs the bases.

The man known as “America’s First Baseman” hasn’t had the typical rise to baseball greatness. Goldschmidt’s celebrity status was a methodical climb up until joining the Majors, and, in fact, baseball wasn’t immediately a passion of his as a child. Raised just outside of Houston in The Woodlands, Texas, Goldschmidt’s parents encouraged him to try T-ball. He had always been athletic and seemed to excel in an array of sports, including basketball, football and soccer.

“One of my first memories as a child is that I didn’t want to go to T-ball practice,” Goldschmidt says. “My mom came to me and said, ‘We will not ask for anything again but please just go this one time.’ I remember climbing into the back of the minivan after practice and saying, ‘Mom, I love baseball!’”

That love of the game followed Goldschmidt through successful seasons in high school and college (at Texas State University). Goldschmidt’s dream seemed to become reality when the Arizona Diamondbacks selected him in the eighth round of the 2008 Major League draft.

Prior to making his debut with the D-backs, Goldschmidt excelled in the Minor Leagues, earning numerous awards and honors, including being named USA Today’s 2011 Minor League Player of the Year and being selected to play in the MLB All-Star Futures Game at Chase Field.

In August 2011, Goldschmidt was called up to play in the Majors for the D-backs, and it was then that he became a household name by quickly garnering impressive stats and additional accolades. In his rookie season, he had eight home runs and 26 RBI in 48 games. He has since made four National League All-Star Teams, won two Gold Glove Awards, and also earned a Silver Slugger Award.

Through his many successes and triumphs, Goldschmidt still remains humble and serious about continuously improving himself and his game.

SO SCOTTSDALE! |

“The fact that I can use my celebrity to give back is an awesome feeling. It’s just such an honor. It’s bigger than making it to the big leagues; it’s my everything.”

“Every day is a learning process, and it helps me become a better player to look at it that way,” he says. “Every moment is about training and becoming faster, better and stronger. I take each practice seriously and despite having played for several years, I admit I still don’t have it all figured out. It’s constantly a learning process.”

To that point, Goldschmidt’s humbleness is legendary.

Players, coaches and colleagues alike say that, despite his extraordinary talent, he is just a regular Joe. And though the limelight does indeed follow him, the All-Star player is not one to seek it himself. It’s this unassuming demeanor that has made him a favorite among players and the public. He’s also very private about his personal life. Married to his college sweetheart, Amy Goldschmidt, they welcomed baby Jake in September 2015.

“Jake is one now, and he is becoming so much fun,” Goldschmidt says. “Fatherhood is so much like baseball because it’s a lot of hard work but so rewarding in the end. Maybe more so for moms, because they often do so much more than dads.

My wife is amazing that way.”

When asked whether Goldschmidt would like to see his son follow in his footsteps, he says he’ll support any path little Jake wants to take. “It’s really about seeing a path and being passionate about it,” Goldschmidt says. “Ultimately, I want my family’s legacy to be one of giving back.”

JUNE 2017 |

PAYING IT FORWARD And the Goldschmidts are well on their way to creating that legacy – since Goldschmidt was called up in 2011, they have been a constant part of the Phoenix Children’s Hospital family. On any given day, you can see them in the halls of the hospital, with Paul talking baseball and signing autographs for his fans while Amy hosts self-esteem pink parties for girls, patient birthday party celebrations, or just has girly fun like painting nails. Goldschmidt jokes that even he has braided some hair and painted nails.

“They do all of these things for one reason – it’s the right thing to do for these deserving children,” says Steve Schnall, the senior vice president and chief development officer for the Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation. “You’ll hear Paul say, ‘I’m just a baseball player. These kids are the true champions that inspire me to be and do my best.’ Phoenix Children’s Hospital is grateful to be on Team Goldschmidt.”

Goldschmidt also is generous when it comes to giving back to the future of baseball. Earlier this year, Goldschmidt, together with APS and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, donated funds to renovate a baseball field in Glendale. Aptly named Paul Goldschmidt Field, it’s the 39th field in the “Diamonds Back” Youth Field Building Program. Updates included a new scoreboard, fencing, windscreen, sports lighting system and fixtures, irrigation system, sod, and stabilizer, with additional support provided by local contractors and businesses.

“I played Little League growing up and you always had that home field that was yours, and to be able to give that to the kids in this neighborhood is amazing,” Goldschmidt says. “The fact that I can use my celebrity to give back is an awesome feeling. It’s just such an honor. It’s bigger than making it to the big leagues; it’s my everything.”

Goldy’s Fund 4 Kids continues to raise money throughout the year for children’s charities and, more specifically, for Phoenix Children’s Hospital. In November 2016, Goldschmidt hosted an inaugural charity bowling event, Goldy’s Bowling Bash, which included appearances by Luis Gonzalez, Archie Bradley, Jim “Bones” Mackay, Drew Stanton, Brandon McCarthy, Justin Upton, Miguel Montero, and David Peralta. All proceeds went to the new Phoenix Children’s Hospital Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders.

“I love golf tournaments as much as the next guy, but there are so many of them for charity. I wanted to do something a little different and bring in a pastime that my wife and I enjoy,” Goldschmidt says. “Who doesn’t love the feeling of a [bowling] strike, and to couple that with helping the kids, it was a winner in my book. I can’t wait for next year’s event.”

It’s been a great year on and off the field for Goldschmidt, whose 2017 performance thus far has been at MVP-caliber levels, with an improved batting performance and some stunning outs at first base. His pride in his team and the place he calls home (Scottsdale) is clear.

“I love everything about Phoenix and, more specifically, Scottsdale. In the off season, I take time to enjoy the outdoors, the weather, going to the park, swimming, golfing, everything,” Goldschmidt says. “The people here are just incredible and so supportive of me and of our little family. This is definitely home now; it’s the place where we are looking forward to raising our family.”

Milee Karre

Head basketball coach at Ottawa University Putting together an outfit can be paralleled to a basketball game – all of the players (or shall we say pieces of clothing) need to work together as a team in order to score high in style. Just ask Arizona native Milee Karre, head coach for the men’s basketball team at Ottawa University, who lives out his passion courtside. While his casual wardrobe consists of Adidas and athletic wear, Karre takes influence from icon and fellow athlete David Beckham for his fancier ensembles. The coach’s motto, “look good, play good” is best illustrated when he dresses up for game day (with favorite pieces from Suitsupply and J.Crew) to feel both comfortable and powerful. While his slam dunk style has to include the perfect tie and shoes, the most important aspects of his look are clean lines and a tailored suit.

“Fit is everything. You can have the nicest suit on the market, and if it doesn’t fit correctly, it’s a waste.” The finishing touch?

An accessory Karre holds near and dear to his heart: His grandfather’s Presidential Rolex for an added touch of class and ’50s swag. His love of fitness continues after the buzzer with just about anything involving athletics, including working out and watching sports.

Nick Ciletti

Anchor and reporter at ABC15 Like anyone in the public eye, it’s important for Nick Ciletti to look the part – at least when he’s on air with ABC15 as an anchor and reporter. As a TV personality, Ciletti always has a freshly pressed (and well-tailored) suit on hand, as the news world is full of surprises like anchoring at the last minute or doing a major interview.

Other times, he opts for Banana Republic slacks and a button-down, or if a story takes him somewhere like Camelback Mountain, his go-to is jeans and a black V-neck a la Anderson Cooper. Not only is Ciletti living out his childhood dream on air, he’s also a pediatric cancer survivor and now gives back to kids by volunteering at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

During his free time, Ciletti usually sports laidback, unique bargain finds from the clearance racks at Zara, Macy’s, J.Crew and even Marshall’s, giving him wardrobe variety while staying within budget. “Those stores have some really unique things and pieces you won’t find elsewhere. You may have to hunt a little bit, but that’s all part of the fun, right?” His most prized possession, though, can’t be found in his closet (but sometimes probably sneaks in there!)

Attorney at Albee Law Firm Born and raised in Scottsdale, Michael Albee describes his style as nerdy with a dash of charm – or, he says, maybe more than a dash. The business owner, attorney and self-proclaimed superhero by night (he has a 10-year-old daughter), loves to experiment with color and often takes influence from NBA players, noting they usually have the ability to afford the nicest clothes and they are tall, like Albee. During the week, you’ll find him in colored fitted suits at work and creative, vibrant tank tops or gym clothes by night. For a night out, he relies on solid colors, the occasional blazer and dark jeans from the likes of Banana Republic, Nordstrom and Burberry. Albee swears there’s nothing he wouldn’t wear, and that he’s influenced by nothing and everything all at the same time, with a personal mantra to have fun with his clothes. While a favorite accessory for this budding author is his MacBook Pro, other must-haves include his bow tie, comb and gold obsidian beaded bracelet (meant to eliminate ego and conflict), which he doesn’t leave home without. His fashion tip? Correctly fitted clothing (i.e. clothing that looks good). “When you look good, you feel good, and that message pours into your world a positive vibe that keeps you lucky.”

Shimeon Jedidiah Mattox

With his sunglasses on and Starbucks in hand (his two favorite accessories), Mattox is on a mission to let others know it’s OK to be different, hoping to change the world with his life story and ostentatious fashion brand (Royal Black Sheep). While he takes influence from classic black-and-white movies, music videos and fashion blogs, along with stars who were ahead of their time (such as Prince), Mattox’s style is 100 percent his own, citing attitude and confidence as his muses.

“I play with gender bending as I feel this is the future, as fashion is a recycle and things from different eras come back in style.” For his day-to-day look, the creative visionary often selects outfits that are shiny, silky and metallic. For a night out, Mattox follows his motto, “Why be the same every day?” He lets his soul do the selecting, often channeling one of his favorite characters like 007. Whether he’s answering emails, out with friends or reading his most prized possession – the Bible his late grandmother gave him – Mattox can be spotted in a mix of Tom Ford and Celine with pieces from Goodwill and Buffalo Exchange.

Entrepreneur and CPA As an entrepreneur, Mario Aniles is used to making his own rules in business, and that ideal transfers to his wardrobe. As a natural-born leader (Aniles started his first business while attending Arizona State University), the native Phoenician has a self-proclaimed “classic man” style. Aniles often finds himself rushing around from the office to board meetings, admitting his mind goes on autopilot when getting dressed, often selecting navy suits for the workday and a black blazer with a pocket square for a little flair when the sun goes down. Color is definitely key – Aniles takes inspiration from the bright suits wore by Robert DeNiro in Casino and counts on Salvatore Ferragamo for his favorite pieces. “I love contemporary art and sometimes try to incorporate colors that pop, accessories that stand out, and combinations that may not always seem to go together but that hopefully look OK in the spirit of challenging traditional norms.” One traditional norm you won’t see him breaking is the sandals with socks rule, a combination he says he will never sport. When he’s not dreaming up his next big idea, you can find Aniles hiking, enjoying a meal with friends, or relaxing at a local lounge with an OldFashioned in hand.

While Baodo designs new projects for fashion shows, he also creates looks for his clients (and even their kids) through personal shopping, naming his peers and department stores like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus as inspiration for building wardrobes. Though Baodo’s most “prized person” is his eight-year-old son, he still loves a great watch, noting that it conveys one’s taste and social status with the ability to serve as a conversational icebreaker. Baodo is also all about fashion that works, noting that his style is very utilitarian – comfortable work shoes, seasonal fabrics, utilizing his pockets, and always having a briefcase or backpack that will hold his laptop while completing his ensemble. A tailored look is also key.

“There is nothing more inspiring than a well-tailored suit. It’s like looking at art.

From the fine craft of the suit and the colors used to the materials and the detail of the seam to the shoes and finely woven handkerchief, it tells a story.”

Kevin Patterson

Director of leadership development at Banner Health Kevin Patterson wears many hats: father of two, husband, businessman, and community activist (he’s involved in Equality Arizona and running for Phoenix City Council). Similarly, his style reflects his life – versatile and eclectic. He gravitates toward classic colors (gray, black and blue) but also loves to throw in pops of color, pairing timeless pieces with bright ties and patterned shirts. One of his many pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses often ties his look together. When it comes to fashion, he encourages others to be bold and courageous, adding that a great look can be as inexpensive or expensive as you’d like. And he means it; though Patterson loves Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and ties from Salvatore Ferragamo and Burberry, he believes the right look is often about attitude and how he wears it, and not as much about the brands. To that end, he rocks T-shirts from Urban Outfitters, H&M and Target, which he frequents with his kids. His fashion influences? The happenings of his everyday life. “One moment I’m in dad mode, the next I’m leading work meetings, and then off to a political event.

I need to be able to add a blazer or tie, then switch to the rolled sleeves look, all in one day.”

We get it – the temperatures are hot, hot, hot and only getting hotter. Perhaps the only activity to keep you sane all summer (other than an out-of-town escape) is an in-town one. There’s nothing like splashing through the cool waters of a resort pool, followed by a siesta in the shade. So pick your paradise, then grab your sun hat, your suit and your squad – the ultimate defenses for a season of seemingly endless sun.

Of course, with a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions, music, dancing and a luxe sit-down dinner, the event also promises to be among one of the biggest and best of the entire month.

out Dragoon Brewing Company – Tucson Though founder Bruce Greene brewed his first batch of beer in his kitchen in the mid1990s, it wasn’t until he brought on his son, Eric – who graduated from the Beer Judge Certification Program and studied at the American Brewer’s Guild – that Dragoon became a reality. In 2012, the Greenes, along with fellow homebrewer Tristan White, founded Dragoon, a self-distributing, draftonly brewery featuring just two beers. Within five years, Dragoon has grown to 30 different beer varieties, and its IPA is a recent recipient of Food & Wine magazine’s “best IPAs in America.” 1859 W.

Four places in Arizona where its hip for hops

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ

eer in Arizona is now a $1 billion industry, with more than 100 breweries statewide, and many popping up in just the past five years. Beyond the local favorites, there are some amazingly innovative beer makers in Arizona to consider visiting. And if you can’t get to them in person, each brewery has several options available at Total Wine & More and BevMo! as well as select restaurants across the Valley including Gino’s East, Southern Rail, Salty Sow, Taco Guild, Market Street Kitchen, Tommy Bahama and Carlos O’Brien’s, among others.

Mother Road Brewing Co. – Flagstaff The “Mother Road” was the moniker given to U.S. Highway 66 by Grapes of Wrath author John Steinbeck, as he shared the fictional story of a family who traveled the road in hopes of finding new beginnings.

Mother Road Brewing Co. now resides along a portion of this storied road in Flagstaff, standing in homage to the lost highway as well as a symbol of owners Michael and Alissa Marquess’ journey to find their new beginning in the world of craft beer. Their recent success propelled them to open an 8,000-square-foot tasting room in mid-2016, and they expect to produce more than 20,000 barrels this year.

7 S. Mikes Pike St., Flagstaff; 928.774.9139; www.motherroadbeer.com.

Oak Creek Brewery – Sedona The Kraus family, who learned how to brew beer in Germany, came to Sedona in 1993 with one dream: to open the area’s first-ever brewery. Opened in 1995, Oak Creek is not only the first brewery in the area, but also Sedona’s only microbrewery. The brewery has garnered national acclaim since 2001, when its amber ale was awarded the Silver Medal by the North American Brewers’ Association, and its nut brown is among Arizonans’ favorite local brews.

ince 2015, Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West has displayed a unique blend of history, art, educational programs, and cultural events.

The Smithsonian affiliate museum has been named the 2016 and 2017 “Best Western Museum” by True West magazine, and this summer, it will feature exhibitions fit for a cowboy, including Western film posters, Grand Canyon portrayals and John Coleman’s bronze sculptures.

A WILD WEST EXPERIENCE Three stunning exhibitions debut at Scottsdale’s Museum of the West

BY OFELIA MONTELONGO

Grandeur exhibition, which will feature more than 50 portrayals of the Grand Canyon from the 1850s to the 1930s.

Some of the highlighted artists will include Thomas Moran, Eanger Irving Couse, Gustave Baumann and Gunnar Widforss.

The repertoire will comprise oil paintings, watercolors and prints in impressionism, naturalism and abstraction styles. The exhibition will run June 6 through Dec. 31.

Bronze Works

Focus on Film

Of Spirit and Flame: John Coleman Bronzes from the Collection of Frankie and Howard Alper will highlight Arizona-based sculptor and painter John Coleman. Considered one of the nation’s most renowned contemporary artists, Coleman was devoted to telling stories about Native American culture through his sculptures and paintings.

Coleman has been expressing his passion for American mythology through artwork for the last 50 years. “Each piece tells a story written by my hands,” he says, noting that his works are rich in metaphors. “The metaphor is more powerful than the reality.

The mythological tale is romantic, whereas the reality doesn’t resonate immediately.”

This ongoing exhibition will open June 6, featuring a selection of more than 20 bronze sculptures that will be incorporated to the museum.

Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, 3830 N. Marshall Way, Scottsdale; 480.686.9539; www.scottsdalemuseumwest.org.

Valued at more than $6 million, with over 5,000 film posters, lobby cards and 1800s memorabilia, the Rennard Strickland Collection of Western Film History was acquired by the museum and Arizona State University in November 2016. Some of the posters in the collection are from movies produced in nitrate film, and the posters are the only record of the films’ existence.

Curated from the world’s largest —and most historically important and inclusive — collection of Western film graphic arts, the exhibit will debut June 20. The featured original film posters will include the 1939 John Ford film Stagecoach, the 1931 Wesley Ruggles film Cimarron and the film Life and Adventures of Buffalo Bill. The exhibit will be on view through Sept. 30, 2018.

CORRECTING YOUR RECEDING GUM LINE WILL RESTORE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE!

Pinhole Surgical Technique® The painless fix for receding gums... in about an hour!

A University Study revealed that 89% of patients over 20 years old have gingival recession.

If you are concerned about receding gums due to gum disease or have gum recession because of aggressive brushing, smoking or medications, turn to Dr. Erik Svans for the Pinhole Surgical Technique®. This surgical treatment rebuilds the gum line without cut and suture surgery. You can walk out of our office with a beautiful new smile in a single visit! In fact, the Pinhole Surgical Technique® is often called the “Lunchtime Gum Lift” as it takes as little as an hour to perform and is done under local anesthesia so you can return to work after your appointment.

BEFORE

AFTER

Here’s what you need to know: • If the recession is less than 2mm, typically your dentist should closely monitor the tooth. BUT if the tooth is sensitive, un-esthetic, or the root structure is starting to wear away we can quickly and painlessly reposition the receded gum tissue to re-cover the exposed root surface with Pinhole Surgical Technique®.

• If the recession is 2mm or more, the supporting bone for the tooth is already resorbing away, and corrective measures should be taken as soon as possible. Continued bone loss can lead to eventual tooth loss. Keeping “small problems small” is a philosophy of ours to maintain optimal overall health of your mouth and body.

• Once bone loss occurs, it is impossible to re-grow, and as the gingival tissue recedes, both the supporting hard (bone) and soft (gingival) tissues are being lost that are vital to your Periodontal Health.

Pinhole Surgical Technique® is a simple, quick, and effective treatment option for solving gingival recession problems. Dr Svans has been treating gingival recession using Pinhole Surgical Technique® since 2014 and has appeared on Channels 3 and 15 as an expert guest for Pinhole Surgical Technique®. He has treated over 1,000 teeth with this procedure, and is highly experienced in both the procedure, its outcome, and helping you maintain optimal gingival health by controlling the factors that lead to Gingival Recession in the first place.

cuisine Two Brothers Tap House & Brewery hails from Chicago, as does its executive chef Josh Downing, who cooks up elevated pub fare to pair with the locally crafted beers.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GET INTO COOKING PROFESSIONALLY? While I always liked cooking – I attended culinary school after high school and worked in restaurants along the way – it wasn’t until I joined the Army National Guard and was stationed in Afghanistan for a year, where we were limited to prepackaged and processed meals, that I really had that my moment of clarity. It was definitely a case of not appreciating something – in my case, both eating and cooking good food – until it was gone!

LIKE TWO BROTHERS ITSELF, YOU ARE ALSO FROM CHICAGO? Born and raised. I actually made my way to Arizona just last year to be a part of Two Brothers, which was founded in 1996 in a Chicago suburb, initially just as a brewery.

It eventually grew to a full menu focused on great beer pairings, and even expanded into a coffee-roasting operation as well.

WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF YOUR CAREER HIGHLIGHTS? I have more than a dozen years of experience, most notably as executive chef for the award-winning Winberie’s Restaurant and as executive chef of Chicago’s famous La Cantina chophouse.

TELL US ABOUT SOME ADDITIONS TO THE MENU SINCE TAKING OVER THE KITCHEN. I kept the core favorites on the menu but added more vegetarian options, out-ofthe-box appetizers, and my own specialties. Think pork belly lettuce wraps with barbecue-braised pork, lemongrass, ginger, charred pineapple and cucumber.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO COOK OFF THE CLOCK? I love to cook most seafood and any type of barbecuing, at work or in my backyard.

WHO IS YOUR CULINARY HERO? Thomas Keller. Like me, he prefers the KISS method – keeping it simple! He is also quieter than some of the larger-thanlife personalities out there. That is much more “me.”

ARE THERE ANY FOODS YOU DON’T LIKE? Believe it or not – ketchup!

THE BRONZE BOAR

A libation mixed with men in mind

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ

E

PHOTO BY DEBBY WOLVOS

VO is a true homage to owner Nick Neuman’s memories of visiting his mother’s family in Italy. As such, every element of the menu, including the cocktails, ties back to the central and northern regions of Italy, from cioppino and tagliatelle to ragu and – its Bronze Boar?

“The Bronze Boar ($12) is inspired by the Rob Roy cocktail [the scotchbased cousin of the Manhattan], but true to Nick’s vision, we use Italian-based elements and our own little twists,” says Jake Russell, EVO’s bar manager. “The name itself is in part a tribute to the wild boar that roam Tuscany and in part for our base spirit, Pig’s Nose Scotch Whisky.”

According to Russell, this spirit is “as smooth as a pig’s nose” and far more approachable than some of the grainer options on the market.

“We use a mixing glass to build the drink, adding Casa Martelletti Sweet Vermouth and Luxardo Sangue Morlacco – a cherry liqueur – to the whisky base.”

“Before stirring, we add Angostura Bitters so it truly has a hint of each of the five basic flavors our taste buds crave: sweet, salty, bitter, sour and savory.”

While building the cocktail, Russell rinses an Old-Fashioned glass in absinthe and lets a handmade ice cube mold itself to the glass, eventually removing the excess water before pouring in the liquid.

The drink is finished by expressing an orange peel on top to glean its fragrant oil.

THE GIFT OF A GETAWAY Set your sights on a luxury fly fishing experience in New Mexico

BY CHELSEA YOUNG

T

here’s nothing quite like the gift of adventure, especially for the man – and outdoor enthusiast – in your life. This summer, the Brazos River Lodge (in Brazos, New Mexico) is launching a new, all-inclusive fly fishing getaway package for groups of up to six guests.

As one of New Mexico’s most exclusive luxury fishing and hunting ranches, Brazos River Lodge is located within the Carson National Forest and Cruces Basin Wilderness, just eight miles south of the Colorado border. This private Southwestern hideaway delivers the ultimate outdoorsman’s experience while retaining a luxury feel at the upscale mountain lodge.

Days are spent among the nearly 5,000 acres of uninhabited wilderness (of which guests have private access), filled with wildflower-rich meadows; a four-mile stretch of the legendary Brazos River; a resident elk herd; two lakes; and forests of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, blue

spruce, oak, conifer and aspens. Elevation ranges from 8,000 to 10,000 feet, offering a welcome reprieve from the Arizona heat.

Fly fishing guides supply all of the equipment and gear to lead private catchand-release fishing adventures through the river’s headwaters. As one of the few fishing streams on private land and controlled by private ownership, the Brazos

River is known for producing trouts including brook, rainbow, cutbow, German brown and cutthroat. From first-timers to experienced anglers, excursions are tailored to each guest’s skill level.

After a day of exploration, guests retreat back to the upscale, six-bedroom mountain lodge tucked within the ranch’s sprawling wilderness. A stay at the lodge includes a private, on-site chef who prepares gourmet meals each day using local and indigenous ingredients.

Guests visiting Brazos River Lodge can fly commercially into the Albuquerque International Sunport, just over a threehour drive, or via private aviation into Taos Regional Airport, a two-hour drive.

The fly fishing getaway package is available June 15 to Aug. 15 and is $6,000 per day for a group of six guests (weekends only); special set-up is available for corporate and team-building retreats. For reservations and more information, visit www.brazosriverlodge.com.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Beard maintenance for the manly mane

NEED FOR SPEED

Get your kicks at four raceways with exclusive up-close experiences

t’s time to recharge those batteries and get away. There’s something about the racing world that holds a unique fascination. While NASCAR might have its origins in the Prohibition era with moonshiners outrunning the law, today it is more about technology. Now that some of the best speedways in the country give you a chance to take your own turn behind the wheel, there’s no excuse not to get your own high-speed fix.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Daytona International Speedway Daytona Beach, Florida, is a great place to fill your need for speed. Daytona traces its racing history back to the early 1900s when some of the racing legends began revving their engines and hitting the sand down the picturesque white beaches.

Today, you can enjoy racing at Daytona International Speedway, home of the world-famous Daytona 500. Even SO SCOTTSDALE! |

Indianapolis Motor Speedway Perhaps the most famous of the racing greats, the Indianapolis 500 takes place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or The Brickyard, every May in front of

300,000 roaring spectators, making it the world’s largest single-day sporting event. In fact, the speedway – dubbed The Racing Capital of the World – is so large that you could fit Vatican City, the Colosseum, the Wimbledon campus, Rose Bowl Stadium, Yankee Stadium and the Kentucky Derby racetrack inside it!

How memorable would it be to find yourself in Indy where, for more than a century, crowds have heard the famous words, “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines?” Even if you aren’t in Indy for a race, take the Indy Racing Experience driving program and learn what it’s like to drive a Verizon IndyCar Series vehicle as a passenger, feeling the G-force as you JUNE 2017 |

Charlotte Motor Speedway is located 45 minutes north of the city in Concord, North Carolina, or Speed City USA. Built in 1960, the speedway hosts NASCAR races every May and October. Throughout the summer months, the 140,000-seat facility presents the Summer Shootout series featuring Legend Car, Bandolero, and Thunder Roadster racing. The oval isn’t the only thing at Charlotte, though. The zMAX Dragway is the world’s only four-lane, all-concrete drag strip while The Dirt Track – made of clay – is used for off-roading events, including the Monster Truck series.

There are a variety of tours at Charlotte Motor Speedway. During race week, opt for the Laps and Taps Tour, which features laps around the speedway and behind-thescenes tours of local breweries.

The speedway and surrounding Cabarrus County is home to some of the top NASCAR race shops, including the famous Hendrick Motorsports (www.hendrickmotorsports.com), which includes drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson. Visits to the shops are a must-do while in Cabarrus County. www.charlottemotorspeedway.com.

hough Western influences abound in the Valley, it’s been a long time since pistols have been drawn on a dusty trail outside the saloon. The focus is geared more toward Southwest sophistication, with the area’s high-class luxury resorts and five-star dining. But make no mistake, the Old West is alive and thriving.

While you’ll find no shortage of Bentleys, Porsches and Ferraris around town, at the Arabian Horse Show – hosted at WestWorld of Scottsdale earlier this year – the lots were overflowing with heavy-duty trucks. Sumo-sized pickups pulled enormous trailers, looming over mere sedans and sports cars and competing for bragging rights for the biggest, strongest and most capable.

SO SCOTTSDALE! |

While Chevrolet, Ram and GMC all offer three-quarter and one-ton pickup trucks, the Ford F-250 Super Duty King Ranch is the 900-pound gorilla of the bunch. It’s been completely redesigned for 2017 with an all-new aluminum body structure and is available in 44 configurations – including two- or four-wheel drive, single or dual rear wheels, and a wide choice of cabs, bed sizes, trim levels and engine choices. Ford certainly has the market covered, owning the title of bestselling truck for 38 straight years.

I drove the top-of-the-line Super Duty King Ranch, powered by a 6.7-liter diesel with 440 horsepower and an unholy 925 pound-feet of torque. The towing capacity of 15,000 pounds is easily enough to tow the largest horse trailer.

Inside, the King Ranch is luxurious enough to make Bentley owners jealous.

Trimmed in rich, embossed Mesa leather, the saddlery is beyond comfortable.

But most impressive are driver-aid enhancements that differentiate the Super Duty from its competitors. Those include 360-degree cameras that give a top-down view and reverse guidance for trailer connecting. A blind-spot information system with a trailer tow provides up to 33 feet of visibility to monitor areas that otherwise may not be visible to the driver.

Overall, there is little to dislike about the Super Duty. Perhaps the biggest plus is the absolute fun of driving such a large, capable, luxurious, wickedly gorgeous truck — and the fact that I got to pretend I was a wealthy cowboy for a week, driving a luxury truck in the “West’s Most Western Town.”

RACK ’EM UP

Take your chances at an all-new pool hall lounge

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ | PHOTOS BY JAMES PATRICK

S

cottsdale is no stranger to pool parties, but never one quite like this.

Opened earlier this spring in Old Town next to Brat House, Rack Scottsdale is the city’s only true pool hall lounge, complete with billiards, a full kitchen, a jukebox and a bar.

“If you think about the Old Town scene, there are already so many clubs, restaurants and bars. I wanted this to be something very different, a concept that has stood the test of time, and with the right tweaks for the local crowd, would be a home run for the area,” says owner Ed Archuleta, a 25-year veteran of the bar and hotel industries, including work at Pointe South Mountain, The Phoenician and Caesar’s Palace in Lake Tahoe.

At 5,000 square feet, the space itself boasts four indoor pool tables as well as one outside on the 1,800-square-foot patio, each made of chrome and customdesigned in sleek blue versus the traditional (and outdated) green felt.

“Beyond the tables themselves, those expecting to walk into a smoky, dark pool hall will be pleasantly surprised,” says Archuleta, who outfitted the space with LED lighting and custom booths and patio seating, which give the lounge a far more welcoming vibe than stereotypical pool hall.

Another pleasant surprise? The food and drink menus.

Thanks to a full kitchen, the venue has both bar-themed favorites ranging from buffalo wings, made-to-order burgers and beer-battered onion rings to specialties of the house including a chicken Parmesan sandwich with homemade marinara sauce.

“Behind the bar, we, of course, offer beer, wine and spirits,” Archuleta says.

“But we really wanted to focus on developing some signature cocktails beyond the standard options.”

As such, Rack Scottsdale offers as many as six different types of signature mules on any given night, including: SO SCOTTSDALE! |

106

| JUNE 2017

• The Polish Mule ($12): Cock’n Bull ginger beer, Bitter Truth Orange Flower Water and Belvedere Vodka combined with simple syrup and fresh lime juice.

• The Deep Eddy Mule ($10): Cock’n Bull ginger beer and fresh lime juice mixed with the guest’s choice of any Deep Eddy Vodka – straight, peach, lemon, cranberry, orange or ruby red.

Rack Scottsdale, which is open from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m. every day with a weekday happy hour from 3 to 7 p.m., invites larger parties to make reservations for tables in advance, but if just stopping by to play a pick-up game, watch sports on one of the many high-definition TVs, or meet a few friends for a drink, no reservations are required. Archuleta also notes that beginning this summer, they’ll host amateur tournaments and nine-ball competitions.

No-Drain Tummy-Tuck Dr. Nachbar has been offering a No-Drain Tummy-Tuck since 2008 to help women who have developed bulging and looseness in their abdomen due to causes such as pregnancy or weight loss.

An ordinary Tummy-Tuck requires a drain to remove fluid buildup that would otherwise occur under the tissue that has been tightened. Usually, the drain is left for two to three weeks, causing skin irritation, discomfort and an opportunity for bacteria to enter. Even when the drain is removed, fluid collection (seroma) can occur requiring needle sticks. If the drain is removed earlier than three weeks, the risk of seroma becomes greater.

That is why Dr. Nachbar uses a more advanced technique, including up to 40 extra sutures to eliminate the space where fluid would collect. It is more complicated, and takes a little longer, but his patients love the no-drain tube technique.

To find out if a No-Drain Tummy Tuck is right for you, call and schedule a complimentary consultation.
