Some of her favorite activities include time on the water, beach, or being active! Her favorite partner in crime is her dog, Palmer.

“What I enjoy most about First Tee is the relationships I have built and the opportunity I have to see how this program can be so impactful on a young person’s life. I am grateful to have such talented staff. I look forward to the footprint we will make in the Greater Wilmington area.”

“What I’ve enjoyed most about my years with First Tee is that no matter where you go, you will find like-minded people who want to help the next generation grow into the best versions of themselves, participants having fun through a life-long game and building skills that will allow them to handle all life throws their way.”

Love graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2025 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and Professional Sales. Originally from Mooresville, North Carolina, Jack grew up playing golf in and around the Charlotte area, picking up the game at just 8 years old. Many of those early summers were spent participating in First Tee programs, which eventually inspired him to give back by later working with First Tee in Shallotte, NC during a summer in college. That experience led to him joining the First Tee – Greater Wilmington team full time. With a passion for the outdoors, Jack enjoys anything that gets him outside—whether it’s playing golf, spending time on the water, or exploring with a camera in hand. He loves sharing the game of golf with others and creating opportunities for people to discover just how fun and rewarding it can be!
