Co-Founder

A native of Atlanta, TC attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he linked up with Soly and Randy to form the basis of what became No Laying Up. After stints in sales, hospitality and revenue management in Atlanta and Boston, TC and his wife Alex settled in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, with their two sons, Fredrik and Gustav, and their two Australian Shepherds, Julius Peppers and Rugby. From his home in Jax Beach, TC can keep tabs on the goings on inside the moat just down the road in Ponte Vedra Beach. When he's not championing future European Ryder Cup team prospects, Tron enjoys cooking, traveling, monitoring various global affairs, and acting as a self-appointed air travel ombudsman.

TC also DBA "Todd Schuster"

Native of the Queen City, Cincinnati, Ohio. Grew up loving and playing sports, golf included, though never was very good. Graduated from Miami University. Public accounting for a few years and then got an MBA from Indiana University. Over-qualified substitute teacher and aide for several years while coaching basketball. Favorite things about No Laying Up are the places it takes me, the people it introduces me to, and the benches I’ve sat upon.

The self-proclaimed ‘Merch Czar,’ Neil is a founding member of No Laying Up and has played a big role behind the scenes since day 1 running merchandising and guerilla marketing campaigns. Since making the Cinderella side hustle known as No Laying Up his full time focus in 2019, Neil has taken on a bigger role running NLU's business and internal operations as well as participating in more podcast and video content.

Editorial Director

When a love for golf intersects with a passion for product and customer service AND a background in radio/promotions/marketing and product development/production/retail operations - you get Casey. Getting #involved with NLU via the podcast and the Refuge message board over 5 years ago set up a series of events that led to her combining all those things mentioned into her dream job of making merch for golf sickos everywhere with the NLU Pro Shop.

Born and raised in the Pennsylvania suburbs of Philadelphia, now living on the New Jersey side, Casey spends her time outside NLU rooting for the Phillies, trying out new recipes, hanging out with her husband, Jon, and their three cats, going to concerts, traveling, and playing as much golf as humanly possible.
