Honoring the Men Who Live Boldly—with Strength, Substance, and Spirit
This month, we honor the modern gentleman—the man who tackles life with grit, curiosity, good taste, and enough adventure to keep things interesting. In our June Gentlemen’s Issue, we focus on a life well-lived, from showing up where it counts to building a foundation that lasts.
We begin with an inspiring glimpse into the disciplined daily routine of professional golfer Scott Stallings, whose commitment to fitness reminds us that endurance is earned long before game day.
Then, for those seeking to refine their inner world, our how-to guide for adding a library to your home office or man cave invites you to become a Renaissance man—fusing strength and substance.
Our feature story, “Tyrann Mathieu Comes Home,” welcomes you into the Mandeville home and life of a Louisiana legend. Here, the Saints safety reflects on family, faith, and football, and what it means to build a legacy where it all began.
You’ll also find our recipe for the perfect steak—simple, seared, and worthy of a weekend gathering. And for the adventurer at heart, we’ve mapped out a luxury escape to Montana in style, from rugged excursions to refined stays and gourmet meals under the wide Western sky.
As always, we round out the issue with City Scene, Business Monthly, and our Events Calendar, connecting you with the people and happenings shaping life on the Northshore.
Here’s to the men who know that a good life is built, not bought.

SCOTT STALLINGS’ WORKOUT
Like many impressionable kids with giddy enthusiasm for their favorite sport, Scott Stallings discovered his interest for golf at the young age of 3.
But it was the “aha moment” for his LOVE of the game that came in 1997 when Tiger Woods won the Masters and would forever change the entire landscape of the industry, as well as what Stallings would aspire to achieve in his future professional endeavors.
Upon realizing “that Woods wasn’t that much older than him,’’ Scott set himself into overdrive to “get it together” and tapped into his natural drive to be one of the best.
He trained his way through achieving allstate golfer and Dean’s List status in high school. He was a seven-time tournament winner and was an All-American while attending Tennessee Tech, and he has won on the PGA Tour three times as a professional golfer.
In 2016 he learned he had been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and acute adrenal fatigue. It was a result of some unhealthy nutritional habits, both of which affected his ability to continue effectively as a professional athlete.
“ GOLF IS A GRIND, BUT DON’T LET PHYSICALITY GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR GAME .”
With the guidance of doctors, surgeons, and his good friend Rich Froning, a four-time CrossFit champion, Scott developed a workout to trim 60 pounds, boasting 10% body fat, revising his daily eating habits, and sleeping healthily through the night.
“I came to the realization that it was no one’s fault but my own. The excuses and finger pointing led back to me, and once you take ownership, you take power in that,” Scott says.
“The voice within gave me some scary realizations that I always hated the doctor, and that they would tell me something was wrong. I learned a little information goes a long way, and that saved my health. Make one change today, and make another one tomorrow, and you’ll never look back.”
Had Scott not gone to the doctor because of that innate fear, he never would have known the diagnosis of sleep apnea that needed to be addressed.
“You only get one body,” he says.
Luckily for Scott, he didn’t have an overwhelming, crazy life overhaul. Instead, he was able to find one small thing, delivering simple systematic changes in his workout that led to his improvement in fitness and quality of life.
He still was driven to be one the best PGA Tour players and the best family guy he could be, and he would do all of the discovery, the surgeries, and the daily changes all over again to continue living his best life.
“I legitimately have some great people push me and stay around me,” Scott says.
Scott has traveled the world over, playing on some of the best courses around, from Augusta National twice, to courses across Asia, Europe, Australia, and the hope to cross the Middle East and more stunning destinations in New Zealand off his global travel list. His next “bucket list” trip?
Today, Scott happily shares healthy time with his wife and kids and is leading up The Scott Stallings Kids Play Free Junior Golf Initiative, a partnership with the Tennessee Golf Foundation to bring free junior golf to the Knoxville area.
THE WORKOUT BASICS :
KETTLEBELLS
Cast iron or cast steel ball with a handle attached to the top; ideal for exercises that combine cardio, strength and flexibility training.
BARS AND WEIGHTS
A long iron bar on which weight plates are placed. Weights come in a variety of styles, including weight plates, barbells and dumbbells.
DUMBBELLS
Short barbells, usually held in each hand
MEDICINE BALLS
Weighted balls roughly the diameter of the shoulders that are used for strength training and rehabilitation
STALLINGS’ PRIMARY EQUIPMENT: HIS TOP EXERCISES:
KETTLEBELL POWER SNATCH:
Uses ground force to leverage the kettlebell upward, then the shoulder, arm and back support the weight as it gets pushed overhead. Also a great cardio exercise and trains the body for a good golf swing.
KETTLEBELL HALO:
Start by holding the kettlebell upside down at chest height, then lift the weight to head height and rotate it around the head like a halo in both directions. This exercise focuses on shoulder mobility— which is important for a good golf swing— and warms up the muscles and soft tissue around the shoulder girdle.
CLEAN TO LUNGE:
First, the kettlebell is lifted from the ground to shoulder height. Then, the forward lunge loads weight into the legs one at a time, which happens from the backswing to the downswing. The exercise increases strength in calves and forearms, which is essential for a powerful swing.

HOW TO ADD A LIBRARY TO YOUR HOME OFFICE OR MAN CAVE
Adding a library to your home office or man cave isn’t just about shelves and books—it’s about curating a space that reflects what you’ve built, what you value, and what you know. It’s the mark of a modern Renaissance man: thinker, craftsman, connoisseur.
A personal library isn’t just for scholars—it’s for men who pursue knowledge with the same passion they bring to business, design, or the outdoors. From vintage first editions to sleek hardcovers, from perfect chairs to the right lamp, a curated library turns any room into a sanctuary.
Here’s how to elevate your space with intellect, character, and intention—one shelf, one corner, one great book at a time.
THE RIGHT SEAT
Reading demands comfort, but style matters. Look for a chair that supports long sessions—a high back, supportive armrests, and a good cushion are essential. Leather ages beautifully and nods to the classic study, but a well-made fabric chair works too. Just don’t go flimsy. This is the throne of your library—choose one that invites you to sit, stay, and think.
PERSONAL ARTIFACTS
A strong library blends past and present. Vintage tomes bring depth and heritage, while modern books reflect evolving interests and fresh ideas. Pair a 1920s Hemingway with a contemporary biography to spark curiosity, not just nostalgia. Seek out first editions flavored with history. A well-balanced shelf tells a fuller story—and gives your space a timeless personality.
OLD MEETS NEW LIGHTED WITH PURPOSE
02 03 04
A banker’s lamp is more than a nod to tradition— it’s a functional style statement. Soft, focused lighting keeps eyes comfortable, especially during long reads (30 watts is perfect). If green glass isn’t your thing, go for warm-toned LED task lamps in brass or matte black. Avoid harsh overheads. Lighting should set the mood, highlight your shelves, and keep your space looking sharp. Think Sherlock Holmes—moody lighting, layered textures, and intelligent design.
A great library isn’t just books—it’s your story. That compass from your sailing trip? Display it. A map from your backpacking days? Pin it. Add vintage tools, scientific instruments, or objects collected over time. These relics give your space soul. Surround yourself with what reminds you where you’ve been and what you're still chasing. Your library should inspire adventure—even when you're sitting still.
Comes Home TYRANN MATHIEU
Building a Legacy Where It All Began
“If I couldn’t find a house in Mandeville, I wouldn’t have come home.”
Tyrann Mathieu leans forward at his desk, elbows set. The words come out with a calm intensity—the kind that makes opposing quarterbacks flinch. Silent, then sudden.
“Because, you know,” he continues, “I was doing well. I had overcome all my setbacks and adversities. But I’m
ARTICLE BY CHRISTIAN GEORGE PHOTOGRAPHY BY TRENT SPANN OF IMAGES BY ROBERT T., EAG SPORTS MANAGEMENT, AND CHRISTIAN GEORGE
conscious that, at any given moment, it could flip. A long time ago, I realized there are things I can’t control, but some I can .”
“Growing up in New Orleans,” he adds, “we never came out here unless I had a baseball game. But I always thought, ‘If I make it, I’ll live in Mandeville.’”
A
SANCTUARY FIT FOR A SAINT
Tyrann’s meteoric career is familiar to fans: the rise, the redemption, the return.
But few see the man behind the myth—the version not caught on camera. The father hanging out with his kids. The pool player lining up shots with his uncle. The adrenaline junkie tearing down the Tchefuncte River, pushing 80 on a jet ski like it’s nothing.
Blink and you’ll miss the side street to Tyrann’s home—a narrow path swallowed by swamp and cypress trees. The house sits deep in Beau Chêne, past the gravel, past the gators.
The road dead-ends at an ivy-covered gate, and when it opens, the house emerges like a Louisiana secret—more sanctuary than status symbol. A place to disappear when
the world won’t let you. Here, the noise fades. The game slows down. And that’s just how Tyrann likes it.
“I feel like I’m on my own little island,” he says. “Once you leave that gate, it’s chaos. But in here? It’s peace.”
Walk through the door and it’s clear that an NFL star lives here. Soaring ceilings. Football memorabilia. The kind of space you’d expect from a legend who once answered to “Honey Badger.”
“That was my sophomore year when the Honey Badger name stuck,” Tyrann says. “But the year before, my nickname was Tyrannosaurus Rex. And I just couldn’t understand how I went from one of the baddest creatures in the world to a honey badger.”
Now heading into his fourth season with the Saints, Tyrann remains one of the league’s most instinctive safeties—Super Bowl champ, three-time Pro Bowler, three-time First-team All-Pro. More than a dozen years in, and he’s still playing like he sees the field in slow motion.
But that’s not the story the house tells. The real throughline?
“It’s about love,” Tyrann says. “I open up my house to family—uncles, cousins. If anybody needs a place to stay,
they stay here. I’ve got more than enough room for them.”
Birthday dinners. Backyard cookouts. Latenight laughs that spill into morning. This is where it all happens.
“My brothers are in the back right now. And my Daddy,” Tyrann says, “he’s here too. He was down 30 years. Just got released—October 5th, 2023. He’s home now.”
I ask how his father’s doing.
“He had cancer—beat the prostate part. But it started leaking into his lungs.”
The sentence just sits there. No spin. No softening. Just truth.
“Growing up, I heard a lot of stories about my biological father,” Tyrann says. “Just how good in sports he was. I was always trying to be like him, one-up him even, because he was famous, especially in the neighborhood. Everybody knew him—called him by his nickname and stuff. I just wanted him to know, ‘Your son is out here doing something.’”
THE QUIET POWER OF A GRANDMOTHER
Tyrann leads us through his home, past photos of friends and family—some living, some lost too soon. Mid-staircase, one portrait hangs above the rest.
“That’s my favorite,” he says.
The woman in the portrait, his grandmother, never had a driver’s license or a job. She lived in a shotgun double, supported by the government.
“She didn’t have much,” he says. “But man, she had respect. Everybody loved her. I used to wonder, ‘Why do people listen to her like that?’”
It wasn’t what she had, Tyrann later learned—it’s what she gave
“As I got older,” he says, “I realized people respected her because she was always willing to give a hand.”
Upstairs, beside a wall of sneakers, Tyrann reveals a tattoo of his grandmother, inked to his ribs.
“Grams takes the cake,” he says. “She’s one of my biggest heroes. I hope I got that from her—just always willing to help.”
Her influence wasn’t just emotional. It was spiritual.
“I was blessed,” he says. “I like to think I grew up in church. My family was Catholic, but my best friends were Baptist, so I kind of had the best of both worlds. I’d go to Catholic church then Baptist—and that was like a party.”
CONTINUED >
Tyrann didn’t grow up in one place. Born in the 5th Ward, raised mostly in the 7th, with stretches out in the East—his childhood moved like a survival map through New Orleans. “I didn’t have a traditional childhood,” he says. “I didn’t grow up with my mom.”
He lived with his grandparents during his early years, then life shifted again. When Tyrann was five, his grandfather died, and his grandmother sent him to live with his aunt and uncle.
“That was probably the best decision she ever made,” he says. “She saw thirty years into the future. She was a prophet.”
“I’ve always had faith to lean on,” he says. “I remember leaving my grandmother’s house—how much I cried. Even though I knew it was probably better for me. She told me, ‘Just keep the faith. It’s going to work out.’”
Tyrann still carries that faith. A gift passed down to him like a handoff in traffic, clean and quiet, but everything riding on it.
“When I don’t know what else to do,” he says, “I know I can do that—keep the faith.”
FROM THE 7TH WARD TO THE SUPERDOME
Stability came with routine. Tyrann’s aunt was a nurse and his uncle drove for UPS. Their kids played sports. There were bedtimes, calendars, practices. Around then—five, maybe six—he scored his first touchdown.
“I felt like that’s what I was supposed to be doing,” he says. “First time I touched the ball, it was a touchdown. I’ll never forget that, man.”
There’s no bitterness in how he talks about childhood—just fuel. Whatever was missing, Tyrann replaced with momentum.
By LSU, that fuel had turned to fire. He wasn’t the biggest player on the field, but Tyrann always found the ball—stripping it, chasing it, flipping momentum with a solid hit or a timely return.
He wasn’t just a New Orleans kid with something to prove anymore. He was national. A viral clip. A walking highlight. At nineteen, he was on Heisman watch lists. At twenty, on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Fame moved fast. Pressure hit harder. But Tyrann didn’t fold—he recalibrated.
CONTINUED >
THE LONG WORK OF BECOMING
“If you tackled me today,” I ask, mostly joking, “where would I feel it tomorrow?”
“In your neck,” he says, deadpan. “People don’t know how physical football is. You play knowing you won’t move right for a week, but I still love it.”
The hits don’t just come on Sundays. They pile up quietly, Monday to Saturday. Film study. Weight sessions. Recovery. Repeat. It’s not glamorous. It’s not viral. It’s work. The long, unflashy kind that makes people think it comes easy.
But not all recovery was physical. His mental work started the day everything collapsed.
“From therapy to yoga, meditation,” Tyrann says. “You name it, I’ve tried it. When I got kicked out of LSU, nobody was more heartbroken than me. I was depressed.”
Walking back to his apartment after meeting with Les Miles, he saw half the team waiting, some in tears.
“That’s when it hit me,” he recounts. “I must’ve been a good dude. A good teammate.”
Asked how he didn’t let that experience break him, Tyrann shrugs.
“I just knew what I wanted. I didn’t want my family to struggle. I wanted them to see more than New Orleans.”
Tyrann wasn’t broken—just in need of better tools. One therapist, an 80-year-old woman in Arizona, helped him see that.
“What did she give you?” I ask.
“Perspective,” he says. “I’ve carried survivor’s guilt my whole life. I’ve had it better than most of my family. I brought that weight with me, but she reminded me—‘Your life isn’t that heavy.’”
A LEGACY OF LOVE
These days, Tyrann splits his time between grinding in the gym and pouring into the next generation through his Heart of a Badger Youth Camp.
He’s still chasing a Super Bowl victory in New Orleans. But the bigger dream?
“I’d love to win another championship,” he says. “But more than that, I want to leave the kids something they can hold on to.”
He pulls out his phone. “You’re the first to see this,” he says.
On the screen is a 3D rendering of the upcoming neighborhood complex he has slated for the heart of the 7th Ward—right off St. Bernard Avenue, blocks from where he used to play ball as a kid. The center will be a hub for youth and community. Tutoring. Tech labs. Green rooms. A pool where kids can learn to swim. A place to belong, to thrive.
“This is what I’ve been working on,” he says. “One of the big reasons I came home.”
The name’s still undecided—maybe the Mathieu Family Center—but the mission is set: a legacy of love.
His annual summer camp is evolving too, a full-day experience now with high school 7-on-7 games, water slides, and a back-to-school giveaway. “A whole day of fun,” he says, grinning. “I always look forward to that.”
Asked what message he has for kids, Tyrann lights up.
“Figure out what you want,” he says. “Most of us don’t stop long enough to ask ourselves that. Then find a mentor. That’s the step too many skip. But mentors save you time, mistakes. And asking for help? That’s not weakness. That’s wisdom.”
RETURN OF THE KING
Tyrann’s house holds all of it. The wins. The scars. The parts of the story that never made the headlines. Here, behind quiet gates and shaded streets, the man once known as “Honey Badger” is evolving into something greater. Not just a name. Not just a stat line. But a legacy in motion.
“He’s never been the dude to say, ‘Hey, good game,’” Tyrann says of his biological father. “But he’s always been the guy to say, ‘Man, you’re a good father.’”
And maybe that’s what this season is about—not the roar of the crowd, but the hard work of becoming. A father. A foundation. A future.
From Arizona to Houston to Kansas City and finally back to New Orleans by way of Mandeville—Tyrann has returned. Not just to the city, but to himself. The Saint has come full circle—like the haloed chair he’s sitting in when the shutter snaps.
He’s not chasing a name. He’s chasing a legacy. And he’s laying a foundation that all of us can be proud to build on.

The Perfect Steak
ARTICLE BY CASEY WEBER, TALL GRASS MEAT COMPANY
Nothing describes summer better than a good cookout! And what is a cookout without a good, quality steak and the perfect grilling recipe?
1. Thaw and acclimate the steak. For searing to occur, the proteins in steak need to be heated to at least 310°F. Tossing cold meat onto a hot grill lowers the temperature and can prevent a crust from forming, so it’s important that any frozen steaks are thawed completely before cooking.
2. Salt your steak 30-45 minutes before grilling. This causes the salt to draw moisture from within the steak up to the surface, where it dissolves the salt and creates a brine that gets reabsorbed into the steak where it breaks down tough connective tissues.
3. Oil the grate on the grill, not the steak. Use tongs and a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil to lube your grates.
4. Manage your heat well. Remember that your grill needs to be hot for your steak to get a good sear. But if it’s hot enough to cause your oil to smoke, it’s too hot.
5. Use the 60/40 rule. The best-tasting steaks are seared on both sides and cooked evenly in the middle. The simplest way to do that is to only flip your steak once. The 60/40 rule suggests that 60% of your cook time should be spent on one side, and 40% on the other.
6. Keep the lid closed. It may be tempting to peek, but trust the experts and keep it shut! Opening the lid makes your grill lose heat, which makes steaks cook unevenly.
7. Check for doneness. A meat thermometer will give you the most accurate temperature reading:
• Rare: 120°F
• Medium Rare: 130°F
• Medium: 140°F
• Medium Well: 150°F
• Well: 160°F
8. Let your steak rest. Pull your steaks from the grill once they’re cooked to 5-10 degrees below your target temperature and rest for 10-15 minutes.
SO YOU WANT TO BE A COWBOY
DISCOVER THE WHIMSY OF THE WEST AT PAWS UP MONTANA
Favorably referred to as the “Last Best Place” and the “Treasure State,” Montana has captured the hearts of cinematic cowboys like Taylor Sheridan and Harrison Ford and inspired the television series “Yellowstone” and its prequels, “1883” and “1923.” Though fictional, they’ve reminded America of its deeply-rooted spirit for adventure and the simple yet rugged way of life that we all crave. Whether it’s the backdrop of jagged, snowcapped peaks or the endless golden pastures that are peppered with livestock, this Rocky Mountain soil is a breeding ground for dreamers and doers, and the people who call it home are no strangers to the ritual of ranch life.
So, you want to be a cowboy? Slipping on some leather and having a little hide in your hat are good ways to start, but visiting a resort that brings the best of this life to the forefront, while also embracing modern luxury, is the experience of a lifetime.
Paws Up Montana sprawls the distance of 37,000 private acres of historic estateland, which houses a working ranch and 10 miles of Blackfoot River. Personalization is key—a divine selection of cuisine for the foodies, awe-inspiring activities for the adrenaline seekers, and world-class lodging that tickles every fancy from stargazing glamping, to timber-style family dwellings, to the uniquely designed Green O hauses that invite the outside world in.

WHAT TO DO
To change your attitude, you need a change in altitude. Gain some speed or turn up the adrenaline level with ATV tours, electric biking, mountain biking, go-karts, paintball, rappelling down Lookout Rock or whitewater rafting down the Blackfoot River. Indulge in the western art of living with archery, fly-fishing, hiking or sporting clays. For those who want to immerse themselves in the language of horses, there are horse-related adventures such as lessons, grooming or feeding, horse-whispering workshops or organized trail rides. Riders can also enjoy cattle drives that bring you back to yesteryear—driving a herd of cattle across the famed landscape—and bear witness to Mustang gentling, where the Equestrian Manager communicates with a wild horse through body language and tone of voice. Skyline Aerial Adventure Park is another notable warm-weather activity, taking guests on two high-ropes courses.
WHERE TO STAY
Luxury Homes are categorized into preference-based properties that boast the thrill of wilderness living. For larger families and multigenerational groups, consider the Wilderness Estates. At 3,250-squarefeet, these estates sleep up to eight guests and feature three large suites with private baths. The Big Timber Homes are available in one-to-three bedroom options and come ornamented with fireplaces and private decks. The Meadow Homes are 1,100-square-foot single-story homes that sleep up to four guests, situated amid a pastoral and treed setting. For an extra nod of perfection, choose one of the luxury homes that comes equipped with a private tent—ideal for anyone traveling with children (or adults who beckon back their childhood!).
For a more primitive experience, Glamping Homes offer the right amount of canvas to create a close-to-nature experience. Available mid-May through mid-October, choose from river settings to creeksides, bluffs or cliffs. Each tent is adorned with something unique—a copper tub, a picturesque view of Lewis and Clark’s famous Lookout Rock and Western-chic furniture throughout. Zip down the windows to allow for the cool nightly breeze, yet enjoy the modern convenience of electricity. Each campsite has a dining pavilion. And don’t miss the s’mores boards around the communal fire pit, offered by your own s’moresologist—yes, you read that right, and yea, it’s a thing.
Lastly, but certainly not least, are the state-of-theart accommodations of the Green O hauses. This portion of the property is completely curated for those 21 years of age and older. It’s a resort within a resort, a hidden pearl in an oyster of experience. The Tree Haus is elevated 23 feet in the air and offers unparalleled forest views. The Green Haus includes a skylight above the bed for an unmatched view of pluck-emfrom-the-sky stars. The Round Haus has curved, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer 180-degree panoramic views. Both the Green and Round Hauses are dog friendly, too, so Fido can rest in the lap of luxury. The Light Haus is illuminated by skylights and unique glass design.
DRINK & DINE
Montana’s best kept secret? Our hideaway chefs, making waves from the Montana wilderness. Chef Brandon Cunningham, Executive Chef at the Green O, is a James Beard Award finalist whose creations at the Social Haus are highly curated through an 8-course tasting menu. Other highly trained and talented chefs like Chef Brett Edlund, Chef Ben Scott, Executive Pastry Chef Krystle Swenson, and Sunny Jin, the General Manager of Food and Beverage, are part of the intricate patchwork of the culinary experience at Pomp, Trough, Shed, Camp and the notable Chuck Wagon—a summertime treat where guests can ride a hay wagon along the banks of the Blackfoot River for an Old West-inspired chuck wagon dinner. The menu ranges from all-natural chicken and Tomahawk ribeye to fresh vegetables grilled over an open flame campfire.
HOW TO GET HERE
Airport: Missoula Montana Airport (MSO) Airport transfers from Missoula are complimentary for guests and all luxury home and Green O accommodations come with a Lexus luxury SUV for transportation use on property.
