WE TOLD YOU YOUR TIME WOULD COME, DIDN’T WE, GUYS? Since the May issue was all about the ladies, we thought it was only fair the June issue of North Scottsdale Lifestyle be dedicated to the gents of our community.

While we will celebrate the dads in our lives on Father’s Day, June 17, you don’t have to be a father to find something you’ll enjoy in these pages.

Now that you’ve met the female movers and shakers of the community, we’ll introduce you to some influential men in this month’s feature. Learn about what makes them unique and how they’re impacting the community. If you haven’t already, you’ll probably run into one—or several—of them out on the town!

Preparing for a night out with the guys? We’ll show you the perfect places in the community to grab a drink, watch the big game or just catch up with pals. If you’d

The Golf Pro John Wright, Golf Pro at JW Marriott Desert Ridge John Wright didn’t pick up a golf club until he was 21. He knew he found his calling when this led to receiving MVP honors for the golf team at Rutgers University.

The best part of his job has been meeting people from all over the world and introducing them to a desert-style golf course.

John feels privileged to work for Marriott as it affords him the opportunity to give back to the community through Children's Miracle Network and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

“People go to the doctor’s office or post office because they have to," he says. "They come to my place of business because they want to. I love that about my industry."

Marc explains that his favorite part of the business is seeing their designers be empowered to create one-of-a-kind looks because it’s a tangible result that they can take pride in.

“Everything from finishes to door styles are completely unique," Marc says.

The Baseball P l ay e r Chad Bettis, Pitcher for the Colorado Rockies In 2017, Chad Bettis made a comeback start in a game against the Atlanta Braves. A baseball player since high school, Chad was well into a successful career when he was told he had cancer. He underwent treatment, and, now in remission, he decided to lay roots in Arizona, where the Rockies hold spring training. He recently partnered with the Testicular Cancer Society to begin the annual Chad Bettis Charity Classic and uses his position to educate others and raise funds.

“Arizona holds a special place in my heart," he says. "It is where I met my wife, had my daughter and a place we can go on endless adventures now that we’ve returned to the normalcy of everyday life.”

The Chef Brett Vibber, Owner and Head Chef of Cartwright's Modern Cusine

Brett promotes the idea of eating local and honoring the land by supporting farms in his home state, as well as growing and foraging for native foods on his own property as well as in surrounding areas. He built upon the Cartwright’s legacy by creating a place to enjoy an eclectic blend of high-quality local ingredients that are unique in taste and presentation.

“Cartwright’s brought me back to Arizona and has helped me achieve my dreams,” he says.

MEN WHO MOVE

(CON TI N U ED)

The Builder Scott Pfeiffer, Owner of Sonora West Development Scott Pfeiffer brings a wealth of expertise and creativity when creating a client’s dream home. Moreover, Scott and his team push the envelope by cultivating designs that are distinct and inimitable. Scott has a passion for charity as well, building playhouses for The Panda Charity Auction and working with Miracle League, uniting special needs children and sports.

Chad Norris has his designs featured on home tours throughout the community. He believes that landscapes are a living art form, combining textures and colors to create lush, year-round beauty. Chad adopted the philosophy of hands-on longevity with clients, pulling from his childhood mentor in the industry: his father. Chad also has a flair for philanthropy, his favorite project being The Carefree Gardens.

“It’s an honor to improve the look of a home," he says. "I don’t draw out my plans; it’s an evolution. The homeowner gives me a blank canvas and their trust is pretty remarkable."

CENTRALLY LOCATED IN SCOTTSDALE IS A JEWELER WHO HAS TAKEN QUALITY TO A NEW LEVEL FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS. “We design all our jewelry ourselves,” owner Oliver Smith says.

Oliver's goal is to create items that are wellmade with superior stones. He knows that by customizing the jewelry himself, he can offer one-of-a-kind items and fair prices.

synonymous with quality and value.”

Oliver settled in Scottsdale after years of selling jewelry due to the growth potential the city offered.

“People were new to town and needed a dry cleaner, doctor and jeweler," he says.

"I take care of people, so I built my business on that principle. It makes for lifelong customer relationships.”

His extensive new and estate watch collection make up a large part of his business.

The growing trend is in trading watches, so he suggests a watch connoisseur do a few things to get the most out of a trade.

“Jewelers appreciate well-cared-for watches and associate that with keeping all materials that came with the watch," he says. "Make sure to hold onto packaging and paperwork so you can get the best deal.”

TOM WILSON HAS A BACKGROUND WORKING WITH PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES, BUT HE WANTS TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM A VISIT TO HIS SIDELINES OR HEADLINES. “I take my experience and apply the same concepts to the general population," Tom says. "The notion of keeping the body healthy and improving performance can work for anyone with the right guidance.” Workouts at Tom's facility are focused on movement patterns and maintaining healthy muscles. “Our bodies are toxic, leading to pain," he says. "With proper stretching, fascia release and a workout routine, you can improve energy, health and performance.”

ME & MY PROP PLANE

PLANE 2013 PIPER MERIDIAN M500 TURBO PROP PLANE FLIER JIM GERBLICK AGE LATE 50S HOME VENTURA, CALIFORNIA OCUPATION ENTREPRENEUR

“I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE BUY NICE JETS AND HAVE BORING PAINT JOBS. At least make the plane look good.” Wise words from plane hobbyist Jim Gerblick.

A custom red, black and silver striped paint job with Garmin G1000 instrumentation and a PA46 Turbine engine is what makes Jim's prop plane a sight to see. The interior is wrapped in a plush leather that makes it comfortable for passengers and a personal touch: a snack basket always full of treats to keep his occupants content for a long flight.

An entrepreneur from California, Jim and his wife decided on a second home in Arizona due to their love of the surroundings.

He spends his free time helping Angel Flights, which donates plane rides for patients needing medical care far from home.

“We donated our first detail service to Jim’s plane at the airport where his hangar is," Jeff Burrows, owner of JBS Executive Detailing, says. "It was a privilege after hearing about his charity work. We specialize in aircraft, so it was a perfect fit for everyone.”

Jim invested in the Meridian to accommodate more Angel Flights. He volunteers his time almost weekly to fly people to doctors' visits while continuing to look for ways to fund other pilots who do the same.

THE BAD BOY OF MAN CAVES THE 'BAD BOY ROOM' TAKES ENTERTAINING THE GUYS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL ARTICLE STACI HAUK | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

W

AYNE AND PENNY MAILLOUX KNOW THAT WHAT MAKES A HOUSE A HOME IS ENTERTAINING. Their more than 10,000-square-foot home at Desert Mountain (Saguaro Forest) in Scottsdale features a farmhouse look with echoes of Europe, their previous home, and is designed with an indoor-outdoor feel. The more than 9 acres of land surrounding the property cannot be built on, leaving open space for sweeping views, privacy and outdoor adventures.

Most notable of the rooms in this custom home

that was created with the uncanny ability to make

lasting memories is the “The Bad Boy Room.” This room was named by the owners and shares a common heritage with the rest of the home in that it is a sanctuary for just two people, but also can shift into high gear when the time comes to entertain.

The full bar and pool table allow for a guys' night in, while the crackling fireplace and state-of-the-art media room mean the evening won’t wind down too early. The masculine touches in the room add a rich ambiance for the perfect retreat.
