M I K E N E A LY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, FIESTA BOWL Growing up surrounded by a family of doctors, Minnesota native Mike Nealy knew from an early age he wanted to help people.

“However, medicine was just not in the cards for me,” says Nealy, a standout high school athlete who first began helping by coaching youth football upon graduation in 1983.

Over the next 10-plus years, while earning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Minnesota and getting his start at a Fortune 500 company, Nealy would continue to coach, winning eight league championships along the way, until hanging up his whistle in 1994.

“But sports would come calling again soon enough,” Nealy says.

That opportunity came in 2001, when the NHL’s Minnesota Wild recruited him for their leadership team. Then in December 2005, the then-Phoenix Coyotes reached out. He advanced to president and CEO in 2010.

“Though the work fed my soul, I began to dream about finding a way to marry my business, sports, and volunteer passions long-term,” says Nealy. “Enter the Fiesta Bowl.”

In 2014, Nealy became the organization’s executive director. Since taking on the role, the Fiesta Bowl raised its status in local philanthropy, and donates millions annually to hundreds of local youth, sports, and education-focused organizations, including more than $16 million in giving over the past five years alone.

Influential Men

BARRY CHASSE FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT, CHASSE BUILDING TEAM Barry Chasse is working to ensure the Valley of the Sun is, was, and always will be, the Valley of the Sun… Devils.

A proud Arizona State University (ASU) alum, Chasse is the founder of CHASSE Building Team, an award-winning general contractor that oversees more than $250 million in local construction projects annually. Chasse founded the company in 2007 with a simple mission statement: Building to Make a Difference.

“For me, that meant making a difference for our customers through innovative work, but also making a difference in the lives of our team and to the community,” says Chasse.

Beyond leading the team that recently completed Overture Kierland and is hard at work finishing a re-build of Hohokam Elementary School in Scottsdale—not to mention more than a dozen LEED-certified projects in town—the happily married father of two is a life director with the Arizona Builder’s Alliance, and has volunteered for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Scottsdale since the early 2000s, currently serving on the board of trustees. He also spearheaded his team in the charitable donation of more than $3.5 million in recent years, and in 2020 was named for the third consecutive time to the Sun Devil 100, a program that celebrates the achievements of ASU alumni who own or lead innovative businesses worldwide.

LOCAL LIMELIGHT (CONTINUED)

PETER HARDEN ROVING CONCIERGE, SCOTTSDALE FASHION SQUARE There is being a “people person,” and then there is Peter Harden.

A San Antonio native, Harden spent much of his early life making throngs of fans sing and dance as the lead singer of several bands.

“Love brought me here in 1995, as it is my wife’s home state,” says Harden.

Harden began working in maintenance upon moving here, despite having never picked up a hammer in his life. He never got used to working outdoors in the heat, so in 1997 he found himself at Scottsdale Fashion Square mall, looking for a new opportunity.

“I’d never sold a stitch of clothing before, but earned a job at J.Crew after voluntarily coming in for a week and simply chatting with customers,” says Harden. “That position led to one in mall security.”

Harden’s personality was so delightfully infections that in 2000, mall leadership created the position of “roving concierge” for him.

Today, the unofficial “Mayor of Scottsdale Fashion Square” delights in visiting with patrons he first met as children, often meeting their own children and building new bonds. He’s also charmed the biggest of celebrity visitors, notably Robin Williams, who was so taken by the roving concierge that he once Photo provided

hosted Harden on an all-expense paid vacation to see him perform in New York.

JOSEPH M. CIOLLI CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, GRIMALDI’S PIZZERIA Joseph M. Ciolli knew he was destined to be an entrepreneur—he just didn’t know it would be 2,500 miles from his native New York.

“There was a program in high school called ‘Teen Tour,’ where students visited colleges and cities outside of New York in the summer,” says Ciolli, who chose the West Coast Tour at 16.

Impressed by Arizona State University, Ciolli made the move to Arizona in 1987.

After earning his business degree, he purchased and ran two popular bars—Minder Binders in Tempe and Bum Steer in Tucson—before moving back to New York in the late 1990s to run what was then called Patsy Grimaldi’s Pizzeria with his father.

“Patsy—Uncle Patsy to me—was a family friend, and we were honored to continue his legacy,” says Ciolli, who built the business to the No. 1 independent pizza restaurant in New York, falling in love with wife Ivy, an Arizona native he met in New York, along the way.

After 9/11, the Ciollis decided to make Arizona their permanent home, as well as to bring the Grimaldi’s brand with them, opening the first Arizona pizzeria in 2003.

Ciolli has since grown the brand to nearly 50 locations nationwide, while also championing hundreds of community causes including Childhelp and The Phoenix Theatre Company through board leadership and fundraising support.

ON PLAYING A SUPERHERO, HANGING WITH J.LO, HITTING THE LINKS IN SCOTTSDALE, AND THE MOVIE THAT MADE HIM CRY

josh duhamel ARTICLE TARA HITCHCOCK

PHOTO BY YU TSAI/NETFLIX ©2021 34

Scottsdale Lifestyle | June 2021

A FEW YEARS AGO, WHEN JOSH DUHAMEL’S YOUNG SON AXL FIRST SAW HIS DAD DRESSED UP AS AGING SUPERHERO SHELDON SAMPSON—AKA THE UTOPIAN IN THE NEW NETFLIX SERIES JUPITER’S LEGACY, THE THEN 5-YEAR-OLD COULDN’T HOLD BACK. “It’s too white,” he said.

Turns out Axl Jack Duhamel (now 7), has some Hollywood clout of his own. The show’s costume designer, Lizz Wolf, took notice, agreed with the young superhero fan, and made some adjustments, adding gray to the suit to give it more depth.

“He’s so proud of that,” Duhamel says, laughing. “He thinks he should get a creative consultant credit for it.”

Duhamel’s foray into the superhero world is the latest in a string of fun-fueled projects that has kept the actor busy for over two decades.

From All My Children to the enormously successful Transformers franchise, Duhamel is having the time of his life.

Six months ago, the actor got a little personal with a film based on his real-life friendships. Buddy Games focuses on six lifelong pals who reunite yearly for a testosterone-filled weekend of competitive (and sometimes frat-boy-like) fun.

Duhamel wrote, directed, and starred in the film, which pays homage to his time spent growing up in North Dakota—a place that forced Duhamel and his buddies to be “really inventive” when it came to games of strength and agility.

“We did all kinds of stuff… balloon ball, whatever the hell that is,” he laughs.

“The last 20 years we’ve been getting together playing these games. It’s more of an excuse for the guys to reconnect. Honestly, I value these friendships more now than I ever did before because of the history we have.”

While the actor spent most of last year at his 52-acre cabin in Minnesota, he kicked off 2021 with a trip to the Dominican Republic, where he donned a tuxedo to play a fiancé opposite one of the biggest superstars in the world, J.Lo. Shotgun Wedding will hit big screens next year.

We caught up with the actor, father, and avid golfer to talk about everything from his latest Netflix project to hitting the links in Scottsdale, and why even the manliest of men shed a tear now and then.

I’M HALFWAY THROUGH YOUR NEW NETFLIX SERIES, JUPITER’S LEGACY. I FEEL LIKE SHELDON COULD USE A LITTLE JOSH DUHAMEL. YOU’VE NEVER TAKEN YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY. YOU’VE GOT SUCH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. I FEEL LIKE HE COULD USE THAT. Yeah, he takes his job very seriously, doesn’t he? He’s an old school patriarchal character who lives very strictly by this code, but is learning that you change with the times and you get passed by. That’s one thing he’s learning, even though his intentions have always been good and he’s always there for the greater good and to affect real change.

Sometimes people don’t agree and he has to listen to that now.

FOOD & WINE (CONTINUED) The Craftsman Cocktails + Kitchen also features its own line of distilled spirits, including a heavenly barrel-aged Amaro, which is used in a handful of cocktails at any given time, notably The Rebirth, a vodka and blueberry centric stunner perfect for summer.

When long-term barrel-aging is not possible in-house, many venues invest in barrel-aged spirits that have already gone through a process similar to the above before coming to the venue.

Speaking of smooth, there is nothing like enjoying the smoothest of cigars to cap a great night out after a few barrel-aged beauties.

Among the best places to enjoy a stogy is Torch Cigar Bar, a hidden gem tucked into the northeast corner of High Street. Torch is both open to members and the general public, making it a true sanctuary for all cigar aficionados in the area.

It boasts 200 premium cigar options, as well as 100 whiskies,

200 spirits, and eight beer taps, wine by the glass, and bottle and craft cocktails. The bar also includes a 400-square-foot humidor, which allows for retail sales, making it one of the only cigar shops in the immediate area.

Fox Cigar Bar is the perfect place for a similarly special experience in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. The space is exceptionally open, yet intimate, and boasts leather chairs, high tops, bar seating, and an outdoor patio. There are 34 televisions throughout the space as well, making enjoying sports of any kind easy while unwinding with more than 100 cigar options from Cohiba and Davidoff to L’Atelier and Opus X. The family-owned 21 Degrees Cigar Lounge in Central Scottsdale, which is named “21 degrees” as that is the temperature in Celsius that is optimum for cigars, also does it right with its extensive selection of humidors, cutters, lighters, and other cigar accessories, as well as hand-rolled cigars from Rocky Patel, Padron, Camacho, Arturo Fuente, and more. They even employ cigar-tasting specialists to help guests choose the best cigar for their particular preferences and tastes.

Finally, if planning a trip up north anytime soon, L’Auberge de Sedona recently announced an all-new Cigar Experience.

The exclusive treat, set creekside or on the patio of the guest’s private cottage, was created exclusively for L’Auberge de Sedona by Director of Food and Beverage Franck Desplechin, the only certified cigar sommelier tobacconist in Arizona. During the program, Desplechin personally guides guests through the resort’s cigar collection curated from the world’s finest cigar craftsmen.

He then found a chiropractor who changed his life.

“He had me back to jogging within three visits,” Dr. Drake says.

In conjunction with chiropractic treatments, Dr. Drake delved into the naturopathic world, using it to help get off all medications.

The unexpected healing sparked a new passion—he wanted to help and heal others, as he himself had been helped and healed.

Dr. Drake headed back to school for both master’s and doctorate degrees, melding his love and understand of sports with a holistic chiropractic and wellness approach— and soon his unique talents were being called upon by major athletes worldwide, as well as to teach at places such as Titleist Performance Institute.

tion, and Trazer training systems.

Dr. Drake begins with an intricate assessment system designed to discover physical limitations in movement patterns that cause a disconnect between how a patient’s body should perform, and how it is actually performing.

“His background and knowledge are second to none,” says golfer Tom Pernice Jr., who plays on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.

Not long after Pernice moved from California to Scottsdale, he was having issues with spasms and pain in his hamstrings, and ended up spending a few days in the hospital.

“I had a disc fire up and had some nerve impingement and the pain was going down my leg,” he explains.

INSPIRED BY THE PRO GOLFER’S FITNESS JOURNEY

SCOTT

STALLINGS’

WORKOUT ARTICLE CITY LIFESTYLE

SCOTT STALLINGS DISCOVERED HIS INTEREST IN 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.

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.

After experiencing some health complications, Scott set himself into overdrive to “get it together” and tapped into his natural drive to be one of the best.

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.

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. “Golf is a grind, but don’t let physicality get in the way of your game,” Scott says.
