Boys Bourbon Club

Born and raised in West Middlesex, PA, Matt is the visionary who introduced the idea of formalizing our shenanigans. He's the smart guy of the group who is great with computers and basically makes sure we don't completely break the rules!

Software Architect with degrees from Indiana University and Temple University. Proud girl dad of two beautiful young ladies: Madeline (FSU) and Lucy (committed to FAU softball).

Fun fact: Can't resist hot food even if it makes him sweat. When not sipping bourbon, you'll find him by the fire pit with a cold beer.

Favorite Bourbon: Old Forester Birthday

The last of our founding members and the guy who somehow knows everyone. Sean is our social butterfly and the type of person that can talk to anybody. He's always working to bring people together and make sure the BBC keeps rolling strong.

Big-time sports fan with a special love for his Auburn football (War Damn Eagle!). All about family and always on the road for one of their events.

His beautiful wife, Deanna, keeps him grounded, and together they've raised two awesome kids: Kayla (sophomore at Georgia Southern, crushing it on the softball field) and Brodie (junior at East Lake High School, playing football under those Friday night lights).

Favorite Bourbon: Blanton's

The guy who throws down in the kitchen and on the smoker! Born in New York but raised in the Greater Tampa Bay Area. His food is next-level, and he's always serving up something wild when we have our gatherings, no matter who's house it's at!

Just to name a couple of crazy unique dishes: beef tongue tacos, oxtails, octopus, ribs. If Lance is cooking, you're in for a feast and those ribs are on another level.

Married to his amazing wife Valarie, a nurse educator for a cancer hospital and cancer survivor herself. Proud dad of two incredible daughters: Ashling (just graduated from USF with a degree in Business Administration) and Makenna (freshman at FSU on a softball scholarship).

Favorite Bourbon: Buffalo Trace

Born and raised in Franklin, TN area, Chris is a diehard Tennessee sports fan (Titans, Predators, Braves and of course... Go Vols!). Even though he resides in FL now, Chris won't drink Gatorade if that tells you anything.

Our "stump the Schwab" type of guy! He can rattle off exact dates of sporting events like it's nothing. Want to know who hit the game winning homer in 2001 in the Allstars game or what day the Titans beat the Jags in the playoffs? Ask Chris. He'll know. Every. Single. Detail.

Chris and his wife Sarah are expecting their first baby boy this December. Sarah is without question the brains of the operation because if it's not sports-related, she's the one helping Chris survive. She is no slouch with sports either and even though she is a Mets fan, her and Chris have common ground pulling for the Tampa Bay Rays!

Club rep: The guy you don't challenge to sports trivia... unless you want to be in your phone looking up dates from 1998, 1995 & 2001.

One of the original members of the BBC crew and another founder. Chip is our big guy with an even bigger heart. Born in Sterling, Massachusetts, moved to the Tampa Bay area at a young age and has been fortunate enough to raise a beautiful family here!

Chip and his wonderful wife Sarah have two amazing kids: Anna (freshman at the University of Florida - Chomp, Chomp! - a force on the softball field) and Rex (junior at East Lake High School playing baseball, his strength and size is getting better than pops at this point).

Former three-sport athlete himself (football, baseball, basketball) and now a pretty solid golfer, Chip is a true family man. When he's not on a ball field cheering his kids on, you'll find him volunteering his time keeping the fields pristine at both East Lake High School and East Lake Little League.

Fair warning... when the night winds down, he's also the guy who might just curl up on your couch and call it a night.

Favorite Bourbon: Knob Creek

Say hello to Chad, one of our founding members and the guy who keeps us all laughing one way or another. Born in Winter Park, FL, Chad has a full house and a full heart. He and his amazing wife, Joanna, just welcomed their babygirl, Zara Frances, on July 26, 2025.

Chad is a proud dad of four: Maddie (sophomore at Eckerd College playing softball on scholarship), Meagan (HS senior at East Lake, just committed to attend West Alabama to play softball), Josh (14-year-old son who's already a full-on gym rat), and baby Zara, the newest member of the squad.

Chad's not just a busy dad and a great father, he is an outdoorsman, man of faith and a reliable friend. He loves hiking, exploring nature, and leading his family by example. He's known in the club for being one of the goofy ones, always cracking jokes and keeping spirits high.

Club rep: The outdoorsy, faith-driven family man who always keeps us laughing (even if that means we're laughing at him, which is the case most of the time).

Favorite Bourbon: Blade & Bow

Born and raised in New Port Richey, FL and a proud Mitchell High School grad, John is the newest face in the BBC Club. Unlike the founding members, John joins us in what we're calling our "Small Batch" release... limited, exclusive, and built to add some extra flavor to the mix.

John and his beautiful wife, Lyndsie, just welcomed their first baby boy, Luca Michael Iannaccone, on 6/16/2025. Talk about a special year.

Couple reasons why we added John into BBC:

🍝 He's Italian and knows how to throw down in the kitchen
🥃 He's a huge bourbon fan who fits right into the brotherhood
🤣 He brings some energy, laughs, and a lot of "Stallion swagger"

Club rep: 🐎 The Italian Stallion — part bourbon guy, part chef, and now officially part of the BBC brotherhood.
