Niels Stone
Niels, a washed-up former pro baseball player from Naples, Florida, founded Shankit Golf in 2020 after leaving the Minor Leagues — a righty-swinging, lefty-putting Star Wars nerd who somehow runs the whole brand solo without knowing what drops next. He’s the laid-back, impulsive mastermind behind the chaos, proud of his two simulator hole-in-ones, questionable gluten-free pizza habit, and weekend golf rounds with his wife.

Patrick Conway
Pat is the most interesting yet average golfer you’ll meet — a former three-sport athlete from Libertyville who now runs Shankit’s marketing, customer service, and product design with a brain the CEO calls a “steel trap.” He’s known for wild stories, knowing everyone, and somehow pulling hamstrings weekly in men’s softball while pretending to play golf.

Carter Penn
Carter, the frat boy of the office, grew up in Rochester, Michigan playing baseball and hockey before landing in Southwest Florida — and now we’re stuck with him. The lefty does it all, from packing orders to making TikToks (thanks to his famous ex), yells wild stuff like “FIOREEEE,” and claims to be a -10.5 handicap… though his family would probably disagree.

Anthony Casazza
Anthony, our remote-working super genius and WhatNot king, grew up in Lemont, IL, where he used both brains and brawn to stand out. He solves problems, lands wholesale clients, and keeps morale high with his belief that we’ll be the biggest golf brand in the world. In his free time, he’s a family man and our go-to source for WhatNot drama.
