This episodes guest is professional golfer – Erik Compton.  Erik has an unbelievable story both on and off the golf course and is someone that many around the country admire.  Erik is a two-time heart transplant recipient who received his first transplant when he was just 12 years old.  In his 20's Erik had a heart attack while driving and ended up needing a second heart transplant.  

Erik has been on the pro golf circuit for 22 years now and growing up he was the #1 ranked junior golfer in the country and then attended the University of Georgia.  One of the biggest moments of his career came in 2014 when he finished second at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst.  I’ve been wanting to have Erik on since I started this show and the reason for that is my family has a connection to him that I had no idea about until a day watching golf on the TV with my wife in 2014.  

Erik is a big supporter and spokesman within the transplant community and started the Erik Compton Foundation to support organ donation research and education.
