The Extraordinary Gentlemen Among Us
Welcome to our annual Gentlemen’s issue—a celebration of the men in our community who inspire, uplift, and lead with heart. This edition honors the fathers, mentors, brothers, partners, and friends who embody character and grace in both big and small ways.
As we dive into stories of local gentlemen making a difference—from entrepreneurs and creatives to community leaders—it feels only fitting that we also take a moment to reflect on the men who’ve shaped us personally. And since June is the month of Father’s Day, I would like to acknowledge my Dad. He is the person I trust to give me solid advice. He is the one I listen to when he says, “Now Lisa Jane, it’s going to be ok.” My Dad taught me that it can be tough to make the right decisions, that standing up for what you believe in is important, and that while life isn’t always fair, there is joy in many things. He’s the kind of man who leads by example, teaches through action, and gives without asking for anything in return. Thanks, Dad, for your wisdom, your support, and your unconditional love.
To all the fathers and father figures out there—thank you. Your presence matters. Your influence lasts and your example helps build stronger communities, one family at a time.
This month, we bring you our annual "Local Men You Should Know" feature, highlighting five influential Chattanooga men: Brandon Jones, Owner of Oxygen Health Spa; Donnie Rains, Owner of Don’s Meat Shop; Genesis the Greykid, Artist, Poet, and Restaurateur; Jason Smith, Veteran, Speaker, and Wounded Veterans Advocate; and Hannes de Wet, Owner of Tree Worx Arbor Services. From innovation and artistic expression to service and entrepreneurship, each of these men help shape the identity of our city in meaningful ways.
We also visit Sigler's Craft Beer & Cigars and share the story behind this neighborhood staple that blends community, craft, and connection. Our "Local Eats" segment takes us to Old Man Rivers. Our health spotlight features Dr. Erin Westner of The Pelvic Method, who returns to discuss men’s pelvic health. We also introduce you to and learn more about one of Erlanger’s newest doctors, Dr. Ethan Matz. Finally, our "City List" highlights some of the area’s top barbershops and golf clubs—places where camaraderie, self-care, and leisure all come together.
We hope this issue inspires appreciation, gratitude, and maybe even a new perspective on the extraordinary gentlemen among us. Cheers!

GENTLEMEN ACTIVELY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY

PHOTO SHOOT LOCATION: HOME BAR
Jason Smith
Veteran, Speaker, & Wounded Veterans Advocate
After serving in the Army for three years, then losing both legs in Afghanistan in 2012, Jason sought healthy ways to overcome the challenges of his injury. Now, on an average day you’ll find Jason hanging out with his wife, Lauren, and their two children on their 60-acre farm. The couple enjoys homeschooling their kids and taking care of the farm animals which include horses, donkeys, chickens, and cows.
“I find great peace in staying active and I love animals because animals don’t hide their feelings and they’re very easy to read,” shares Jason. “A simple life and staying active really helps me fight off PTSD and heightened anxiety.”
Fitness has played a significant role in Jason’s journey, and he has competed in both the international Invictus Games and stateside Warrior Games, winning multiple medals in powerlifting and rowing. Jason also works with the Catch a Lift Fund which helps veterans heal holistically through mental health, community, and fitness.
Additionally, Jason carries and important message to school-aged kids when visits as a guest speaker. “Being a wounded veteran, I go and talk to schools and tell them how my worst day turned into the best thing that ever happened to me,” he explains. “I realized what mattered versus what doesn’t matter… and what really mattered was family, friends, and just being a good person. I’m a better man now after my injury than I was before.”
Donnie Rains
Owner, Don’s Meat Shop
Founded in 1982 by Donnie’s parents, Don and Sally Rains, Don’s Meat Shop has been a trusted source of high-quality meats for the Chattanooga community for over four decades. From a young age, Donnie worked alongside his family until 1991, when he branched out and gained over twenty years of experience working in other businesses, but still in the meat industry. In 2013, he returned to take the reins and pour into the family business.
“My family was in the grocery business before the meat market, so I was more or less born into this business,” says Donnie. “It is part of my DNA, and I returned to run the business because it was important to me to continue the legacy and keep the family business going and thriving.”
Today, Donnie continues the tradition by working alongside his son, Will, sharing his experience and the values that have made the shop a local favorite. With each day, Will gains the skills and knowledge to help him carry the family legacy forward.
From his experience, Donnie has learned two important keys to success. “To be successful, we all have to work together,” he shares. “It takes a community to thrive and that’s why I think it’s important for people to know who you are and know your values. Also, knowledge is a powerful thing, so having an inquisitive mind and knowing what is possible in your business, rather than just letting things happen, is very important.”
Genesis the Greykid Artist,
Poet, & Restaurateur
Whether in his art, poetry, or when opening his restaurant, Genesis the Greykid says each endeavor is a type of homecoming, representing a place of peace where he meets different aspects of himself and the people who surround him.
Early in his career, Genesis and his wife, Kren the Curator, traveled the country for a year and a half, staying in over 180 cities. During that time, they visited thousands of restaurants and met countless new friends, an experience they want to share with others. “We’d eat out every day and meet amazing people… people that we might not have met any other way,” says Genesis. “Some of those incredible people have become family now.”
So when the idea of opening a restaurant began to take shape, the two connected with brothers Lee and Matt Brock and developed a concept that turned into Home, an upscale bar and restaurant located here in Chattanooga. “We wanted to create a place where people can gather, celebrate, have a drink and good food while meeting some good people,” he shares.
Home, which was designed and curated by Kren to be warm and inviting, showcases various artwork by Genesis in addition to pieces from other artists the couple admires and whose art the couple enjoys collecting.
Brandon Jones Owner, Oxygen Health Spa
As a Master Scuba Diver, Brandon has extensive experience with the body’s acclimation to compression and decompression. This training, along with his friendly personality and the ability to put people at ease, makes him a natural fit for helping people discover the healing benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Through HBOT technology, Brandon has seen people who feel like they are out of options experience physical healing from inflammation, injuries, and pain as well as mental healing from PTSD, anxiety, and stress.
Although Brandon has seen both men and women benefit from HBOT, he understands that men can be reluctant to try new therapies, and he wants to help. “Men typically deal more with sports injuries like head injuries, concussions, and traumatic brain injuries,” says Brandon. “So whatever we can do to make men more comfortable to come in and give it a try, we want to do that, because I’d love to be able to help men get better mentally and physically.”
For Brandon, creating positive change and continuing the momentum of improving Chattanooga means being invested in the community and making wise decisions. His advice for young men today: “Always make the right choice, even if it’s not the easy choice,” encourages Brandon. “And although it sounds childish, follow the golden rule - treat people how you would want to be treated or treat people how you would want them to treat your daughter or your son.”
Hannes de Wet
Owner, Tree Worx Arbor Services
From a young age, Hannes felt the pull of entrepreneurship that eventually led him to open his own business. Growing up in South Africa, he participated in weekly entrepreneurship days sponsored by his elementary school and those experiences left a lasting impression.
“With my mom’s help, I bought bulk Cokes and chocolates downtown and sold them at my booth for a profit,” he shares. “That early taste of initiative, independence, and accomplishment stuck with me.”
Although Hannes enjoys many aspects of his business, working with people and being hands-on are both highlights. “I enjoy developing potential in others and building a strong, values-driven team,” he says. “I also still get out in the field from time to time. There’s a unique satisfaction in solving real, physical problems with your hands and your mind that you just don’t get behind a desk.”
As a husband and father of two children, as well as a business leader in the community, Hannes understands the importance of pouring into young people and being a mentor for future generations. His advice for young men today - “Ask yourself not just what you want to be, but what kinds of problems you want to solve — and what kind of life you want to build,” Hannes suggests. “Seek out people and environments that stretch you. Work for someone you admire, even if the pay is low. The return is in the lessons, not the paycheck.”
Sigler’s Craft Beer & Cigars
A NEIGHBORHOOD STAPLE BLENDING COMMUNITY, CRAFT, AND CONNECTION IN CHATTANOOGA
In a city bubbling with new breweries and tasting rooms, Sigler’s Beer and Cigars remains something rare: a neighborhood place that feels like it’s always been there — and always will be.
Sigler’s didn’t begin with a grand business plan or corporate backing. It started the old-fashioned way: a group of regulars who loved the place too much to let it go. “When the original owners put Sigler’s up for sale, we put our heads together and decided to buy it and see what we could do with it,” Phil Haymaker recalls. The dream was simple, craft beer, fine cigars, and community, but the result has been something even greater.
When Sigler’s opened its doors under new ownership in 2016, Chattanooga’s beer scene was just beginning to gain steam. “We were pretty much the first store of its kind in Chattanooga,” Phil says. Combining a rotating draft list with packaged beer and a curated cigar selection gave Sigler’s its unique identity — a place where beer nerds, casual drinkers, and cigar lovers could all find something to savor.
ARTICLE BY BELINDA MARTIN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALPHA BREWS LLC
Sigler’s newest chapter, AlphaBrews, brings the story full circle. “We’ve started brewing our own beer under the name AlphaBrews. “We’re starting small, but we have big dreams.” As always, the goal isn’t just great beer — it’s about bringing more value and connection to their customers. AlphaBrews has quickly become a fan favorite, and locals are excited to see how it continues to evolve. With the introduction of their own brewing line, Sigler’s is now offering even more personalized experiences for its customers, adding a new layer to its already rich story. The community can now look forward to exclusive, locally brewed beers with their favorite flavors and tastes
Spend an evening at Sigler’s, and you’ll understand. The vibe is unmistakably laid-back, but it’s not by accident. “Laidback is exactly what we were going for,”
Phil explains. With plenty of cozy seating, a bustling patio for cigar smokers, board games, sports always on TV, and a soundtrack built for good times, the place feels less like a business and more like a gathering of old friends.
Their regulars, a colorful mix of doctors, lawyers, teachers, and mechanics, are just as much a part of the story. “We like to say that we’re not in the beer business; we’re in the people business,” Phil explains. “We all come from different backgrounds, but here, we can just enjoy life together.”
Sigler’s commitment to the community runs deep, supporting local charities, schools, and even a cycling club. Their mission is simple yet profound: good beer, good cigars, good people—in that order. “We’re not just a place to grab a drink, we’re a place where friendships are made,” Phil adds, reflecting on the family-like atmosphere that Sigler’s has cultivated. And if the steady hum of conversation and clink of glasses at Sigler’s tells you anything, it’s that in a fast-changing world, places like this are more important than ever.
“We like to say that we’re not in the beer business; we’re in the people business. We all come from different backgrounds, but here, we can just enjoy life together.”
Welcomes A New Kind of Networking
Old Man Rivers
Twenty years ago, Alexander Rivers and Andrew Millsap met while working at Mellow Mushroom. Since then, they’ve become fixtures in Chattanooga’s hospitality scene: Millsap as a chef at The Chattanoogan Hotel and later as executive chef at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and Rivers through a wide-ranging career that’s taken him through corporate restaurants, local breweries, and beloved spots around the city.
When Rivers called Millsap with an idea to open a restaurant together, the answer was immediate. “We were so excited to take everything we’ve learned in our careers and share it with our community,” Rivers says. “It’s our love language.”
They bought the 100-year-old house at the foot of Signal Mountain from Karen and David Loveless, who ran The Big Table there for 18 years. Over the next 20 months, Rivers, Millsap, and a close circle of family and friends transformed the space, preserving its spirit while making it their own. On May 31, 2023, Old Man Rivers opened to the public.
Upon walking in, guests are welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere and a full view of the open kitchen. Millsap says he loves being able to see into the dining room and greet guests as they arrive. The kitchen is modest, with no freezer or fryer, and enough space

for the essentials. It pushes Millsap to keep the food fresh, local, and honest, using every ingredient in thoughtful, creative ways.
One of the restaurant’s defining features is its weekly rotating menu. Each Wednesday—the start of their service week—a new lineup of small plates, meals, and drinks is posted, all inspired by seasonal produce, inventive ideas, and the surrounding community. “It keeps us from becoming complacent,” Millsap says. “We stay hungry and push our own limits and creativity.” The ever-changing menu also keeps regulars curious and eager to discover what’s new each week.
“I get excited waking up on Wednesday mornings and not knowing what our weekly menu is going to be,” Rivers adds.
In their two years, only a handful of dishes have made repeat appearances. One such dish is the Porter and Coffee Braised Short Ribs, which has appeared each week since opening.
Local Eats
Seared in a coffee flour blend from Chattz Coffee and braised for seven hours in WanderLinger’s Stout of Tune oatmeal stout, the ribs deliver a deep, bitter-sweet richness and fall-apart tenderness that’s loved by many.
At its core, Old Man Rivers is about people. Hospitality isn’t just a part of the business—it’s the heartbeat of everything they do. To mark their 102nd weekly menu and celebrate two years in business, the entire team collaborated on the offerings. “There’s no front-of-house or backof-house—it’s just one big-hearted house,” Millsap says. Every dish and detail is a shared effort.
In just two years, the restaurant has become a neighborhood fixture, woven into the lives of its regulars in meaningful ways. Rivers recalls one
couple who had their first date at Old Man Rivers. As their relationship grew, they introduced the restaurant to friends and family, eventually returning to get engaged in the place where it all began.
For Rivers and Millsap, that’s the most rewarding part of the journey. “It’s seeing the joy on people’s faces when they walk in,” Millsap says. “Watching them love and appreciate the food we’ve made. It reminds us that our passion isn’t wasted.” Just as fulfilling is watching their team grow: building skills, refining their craft, and finding pride in the work. “That’s what makes this place special,” Rivers adds. “It’s not just the food—it’s the people behind it.”

THE PELVIC METHOD’S GROUNDBREAKING APPROACH TO PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY
REDEFINING MEN'S HEALTH
When it comes to pelvic floor therapy, many people associate it exclusively with women’s health — but The Pelvic Method is challenging that perception by prioritizing the often-overlooked needs of men. This innovative clinic provides a safe, supportive environ-

But The Pelvic Method’s commitment goes beyond physical recovery. The team addresses how pelvic dysfunction can affect daily life, from

ment for men experiencing a wide range of pelvic health issues, from prostatitis and bladder pain to constipation, urinary leakage, and even post-vasectomy complications.
“Pelvic pain is the most common issue we see in men,” says the clinic’s founder, Dr. Erin Westner. “It can manifest as testicular, penile, bladder, or even tailbone pain — and is often misdiagnosed or brushed off entirely.”
Many patients arrive after years of frustration, having seen multiple providers without clear answers or relief.
At The Pelvic Method, they find more than just treatment — they find validation and hope.
The clinic takes a full-body, individualized approach to care. Each patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment, which informs a tailored treatment plan. Hands-on manual therapy may involve work on the low back, abdomen, or pelvic region with internal work included only when appropriate and with full consent. Exercises are integrated
work performance to relationships, and collaborates with other healthcare providers to ensure a holistic, teambased approach. Mental health is also a core focus, as chronic pelvic issues are often linked to anxiety, depression, and stress — all of which can exacerbate symptoms. Referrals to trusted mental health professionals are common, ensuring comprehensive care.
One particularly powerful success story involved a man struggling with pudendal neuralgia for over a decade. After only a few sessions focused on mobility, core strength, and restoring movement patterns, his pain drastically decreased, and his quality of life improved.
“I’ve gone nearly two decades without finding help for my symptoms,” one patient shared. “And in the first hour, I had hope and some relief.”
At The Pelvic Method, that hope is the foundation of healing — and a reminder that men’s pelvic health deserves attention, respect, and expert care.
PRECISION & PRESENCE
In just under a year, Dr. Ethan Matz has made a noticeable impression on Chattanooga and not only in the operating room. As a reconstructive urologist at Erlanger, Dr. Matz brings both surgical precision and a compassionate approach to patient care, qualities deeply rooted in a family legacy of medicine. Originally from Columbia, Maryland, and trained at the University of Texas Southwestern, Atrium Wake Forest Baptist, and George Washington University, Matz chose Chattanooga for its opportunity and stayed for its charm.
“Chattanooga struck a balance for me,” Dr. Matz says. “It feels like a city, but the medical community here is tight-knit and collaborative.” That sense of connection carries over to his personal life as well. When he’s not in scrubs, you might find him exploring nearby trails or heading out on day trips to uncover the hidden gems of the region. “Living in Chattanooga is all about the outdoors,” he adds, though he admits he hasn’t quite tapped into his adventurous side yet to try whitewater sports or rock climbing—“but I’d love to.”
Dr. Matz moved to the Scenic City after completing a fellowship in genitourinary reconstruction in Dallas, and says that despite his relatively short time here, he’s felt warmly welcomed—both personally and professionally. He appreciates how the city’s size fosters connection while still offering space to grow, a rare combination that’s helped him feel right at home.
His favorite local eats reflect a relaxed, curious spirit: Calliope, Little Coyote, Easy Bistro, Boathouse, and Alleia top his list, with Neidlov’s and Milk and Honey fueling weekend mornings. A self-proclaimed avid skier, Dr. Matz lights up talking about the sport that’s been a lifelong passion, passed down from his father — also a doctor, and his most significant personal influence. “He taught me the importance of showing up and taking care of people. If I can be even half the clinician he is, I’ll have done well.”
That ethos of showing up fully is something Dr. Matz carries into every part of life. “Professionally, it means being fully present for my patients and team. Personally, it means my friends and family always know they can count on me.”
Though he thrives in healthcare, Dr. Matz muses that in another life, he might have been a chef. “There’s artistry in both surgery and cooking — they both require skill, patience, and a touch of creativity.”
Whether he’s reminiscing about San Sebastián, Spain, where he’s often imagined moving, or recalling his black Nissan Altima chauffeuring his three younger sisters, Dr. Matz’s stories all point to the same traits: reliability, thoughtfulness, and quiet ambition — the very qualities that make him an asset to Chattanooga’s medical and social communities alike.
Erlanger is proud to introduce Robotic High Intensity Focused Ultrasound —Tennessee’s first hyper-targeted, robotic procedure. It focuses so precisely on prostate cancer that it preserves the healthy tissue around it, minimizing the risk of side e ects like erectile dysfunction or incontinence common with current invasive procedures. Many patients are happy to learn they’re even finished with just one treatment. For more information or to schedule a consultation, visit Erlanger.org/HIFU or call 423-778-5910.
