This edition is a celebration of strength, spirit, legacy, and adventure the essence of modern manhood. To all the fathers, role models, and remarkable men we admire: thank you for your influence, your courage, and your love.

Host Dave Glover Celebrates 25 Years In Radio, Driving People Home For Two Decades

Glover Show

He says he was a quiet, weird little kid, but when given an opportunity to perform, he’d do Richard Nixon impressions at the family barbecue. Dave Glover, host of The Dave Glover Show on KMOX-AM in St. Louis, is celebrating 25 years in radio this year — a career he says he never even considered. But, then again, he has a way of falling into success.

ARTICLE BY ROBIN SEATON JEFFERSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOHN LORE
John Lore Photography

“I was just trying to be funny, so I walked by and flipped them off,” Dave says. Somehow that got their attention and had them considering to hire Dave to host a show on 97.1. The plan was that he could wipe out his bill if he would go on air for $100 a day.

“Two years later, we went to number one in St. Louis. So, with my first radio job, I cracked the market of PM drive time in the top 20 market with 97.1. I went from being an indentured servant to being on top to making more than the station manager,” he recalls.

Today, KMOX spans 27 states and has 140 Cardinals affiliates. The station went to FM in March for the first time with 104.1 FM. KMOX will celebrate its 100th anniversary on Christmas Eve this year.

The lawyer, who might have been a carpenter, singer, doctor or even a minister fell into radio under the oddest of circumstances.

“I was the only person who ever got into radio the way I did,” Dave says. He states he had racked up a $10,000 advertising bill for his law practice with Emmis Communications, which, at the time, wanted to start 97.1 FM TALK. He says he went to the station’s office to take his future wife, who was a sales rep at the station, to lunch.

“Steve and D.C., and the staff, were in the conference room talking about who they were going to put on the air. They had no money, no budget,” he says, adding that he had established a relationship with the two St. Louis radio personalities of 106.5 FM, as they did live endorsements for his firm, Common Ground Mediation.

Dave says he never thought he would end up on radio, though his show, airing live on KMOX 104.1 FM from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, is a huge hit. He says the show is sort of a “Seinfeld of radio about everything and nothing.”

Dave has had a lifetime of successes in everything he’s tried, though he says all he ever really wanted to do was make people laugh, like Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett.

Born the last of three children to Jack, a union carpenter, and Frances, a homemaker, Dave hails from South Roxana, Illinois. Dave says everything he has done “is what made my parents want to send me to a home. I was so weird.”

He says he went to law school on a “drunken bar bet.” He was hanging out with the members of his band at the time, when one of them dared the “little genius" to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). “I took it and forgot about it,” he adds.

But he later decided to give lawyering a shot, as he didn’t know what else he wanted to do at the time. “I was good at it, because I’m a performer. A lot of law school is performing. But actually, being a lawyer is like doing homework every day. I don’t like things that aren’t fun.”

He lived in Alaska for a short time doing legal work on the Exxon Valdez oil spill during 1989. He also filled in numerous times for conservative political commentator and radio host of TheBlaze, Glenn Beck. It's assumed he has an uncommonly high IQ, though he won’t reveal the number. And, he says, he’s actually seen Big Foot.

Dave also says he considered becoming a minister and even a doctor. “I was always fascinated by doctors, but I have no discipline. I would have been everyone’s favorite doctor whose dad died in my care,” he quips.

Dave’s mother died on hospice last year. A group of volunteers with No One Dies Alone (NODA) so affected him by spending time with his mother, that he now volunteers with them, sitting with people and holding their hands as they die. “I was so moved by that, I became one of them,” he says. “It has been incredibly impactful.”

He shares that he asked his then 4-year-old daughter Phoebe, now 20, what she thought made a good life. “She said, ‘It’s having crazy stories, like you do,’” Dave says. “She said with my band and radio show, ‘You make people laugh and you make people sing.’”

Local Craft Cocktail Inspiration

Judgment Tree Spirits Sprang From Passion And A Mission

Sugar Creek Winery's newest offering isn't wine at all; it's spirits! Distillery of Defiance is officially here to sip and sample on its own, or in a delicious cocktail.

Sugar Creek's owner Becky Miller created Sugar Creek from her love of travel to Missouri wine country when she bought her own winery in Defiance to bring her wine passion to life. The interest runs deep through their family with her son, Chris Lorch, learning more about winemaking in Napa Valley, and returning home to Missouri to develop his winemaking for Sugar Creek today.

Judgment Tree, the spirits offered at Distillery of Defiance, are another handcrafted project by Chris.

Judgment Tree brandy and vodka is made locally by Chris and his business partner, Scott Koziatek. Chris says it all started with a dream and an 8-gallon pot still back in 2012. The evolution of Distillery of Defiance is more than 12 years in the making, although their combined experience stretches many decades. The tree

that the name celebrates is a historical local spot where Daniel Boone held court, judging local cases.

The duo's inspiration: "Judgment Tree is an ode to the idea of being open to judgement of our merit, and believing in our idea and our dream."

Both the Judgment Tree brandy and vodka products are made from wine. "The vodka is taken out of the still at 190 proof to create a flavor neutral profile, and then blended down to 80 proof for sale," Chris says. "The brandy is produced at a lower alcohol concentration, leaving it flavor positive and capturing character from the wine."

Chris explains, "Anything you create with a whisky or bourbon can be enjoyed with our brandy as a substitute."

He says the brandy drinks like a smooth, elegant bourbon, and is meticulously aged in brand-new American oak barrels, charred with toasted heads. It is aged for a minimum of two years, with the most recent release (batch #8) aged four and a half years.

Their go-to concoction with Judgment Tree Brandy? The Old Fashioned is a tried-and-true favorite and is back in popularity. This cocktail is a crowd pleaser and stands the test of time. A plain Old Fashioned is appropriate any time of the year, but for summer a fruity twist sounded delicious.

Here's a fun take on a classic Old Fashioned for the warm Missouri months, especially when entertaining outdoors on a breezy evening with friends.

1. Start with a sugar cube at the bottom of the glass and add a dash or two of bitters.

2. Add a peach slice and an orange slice. Muddle.

3. Fill glass with a large whiskey ice cube or crushed ice.

4. Add brandy to liking.

5. Top with sparkling water, if desired, to lighten it up or balance the flavors.

6. Garnish with a peach slice, or even a cherry.

7. Let creativity shine by adding other fruits or rinds to your liking.

ST. LOUIS BATTLEHAWKS COACH ANTHONY BECHT EMBODIES SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS, FOOTBALL, MEDIA, FAMILY, LIFE

Anthony Becht knows a thing or two, more like a million things, about football. As a former NFL player, prior ESPN college football analyst and current New York Jets color commentator, he puts his well-rounded experience to good use from playing for the Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs. Over his 11-year career, he caught 188 passes for 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Now as the Battlehawks' Head Coach in the United Football League, Anthony previously served as the head coach of the St. Louis Battlehawks in the XFL and led the team to a 7-3 record, which was the most wins among rookie head coaches in 2023. In 2024, the BattleHawks also finished with a 7-3 record and lost in the XFL Conference Championship game.

“We’ve made great progress over the last two seasons. The guys are focused and we have a collective culture that matters,” he assures. “I know how we work, I know what our coaches do, and I lean on those things. We have to go out there and prove it each game."

He says he wholeheartedly believes if players understand "the why," they have a better chance of having clarity when circumstances happen again. "We represent a fresh new page in players' careers, a chance for them to really prove themselves."

"The stats and play time are obviously selfish-driven factors, but great teams come from selfless players who realize that individual success comes with the team's success," he adds.

As an All-American player and first-round draft pick, Anthony says he remembers and empathizes with all the work and sacrifices wrapped up in these important sports opportunities.

He says his coaching style is anchored by positive reinforcement, spiked by tough love when necessary. "I care about the whole person. We build the man, helping them see what it takes to be a pro, and filling in gaps of self-doubt. It's a mental game that comes with carrying a certain standard."

The UFL was formed by the merger of the XFL and USFL in 2024 under the combined ownership of Redbird Capital Partners, FOX, Dany Garcia and Dwayne Johnson. The UFL has eight teams in St. Louis; Arlington, Texas; Birmingham, Alabama; Detroit, Michigan; Houston, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee; San Antonio, Texas; and Washington D.C.

“Coaching is my personal priority,” Anthony explains “Not only as the head coach of the Battlehawks and part of the UFL, but just in general. In my life, this is something I’m very passionate about, this is something I want to continue to be better at."

However, balancing his time between leading the team, while also maintaining a strong presence with his family is the name of Anthony's ultimate game. To some, Anthony is more simply "Rocco's dad." As Iowa State's quarterback, Rocco understands the bond cemented between players and coaches, and the two say they contact each other daily.

Anthony's staff definitely see him as a team leader who still makes time to be a strong father within his family, including his daughter, Olivia, who he says is an exemplary student at Florida State University.

"I love my schedule, what a blessing. In the spring, I coach. In the summer, my wife and I have time together. In the fall, I get to see my son play college football," he shares.

He thanks Battlehawks Nation's dedicated fanbase. "They're loud, they dress up, they bring banners and paint their faces, and they're definitely a factor in games. We appreciate everyone who comes out and supports us. It's also partly why other teams like to come play here in St. Louis. We enjoy having fans connected as winners, too."

Anthony was inducted into the University of West Virginia's Hall of Fame during the fall of 2023. As a former West Virginia tight end, he played for the Mountaineers from 1996-1999. Overtop the football field on the big game screen was where he proposed 24 years ago to his then college sweetheart and future wife, DeeAnn.

For home games, the Battlehawks play at The Dome at America's Center. This year's season began on March 28 and runs through May 30. Single ticket prices range from $16-$180 each. Season passes and tickets are available at UFLBattlehawks.com/tickets

This fired-up coach recently told the players: "We keep stacking Ws, who can stop us? Nobody. We gotta' stay together."

To everyone else, Anthony encourages them to try attending one game. "It's a faster game and unique experience with very engaging, awesome fans. I promise that you'll have fun and are likely to want more."

TheUFL.com/teams/St-Louis

Our lives are filled with Summer camps, trips to the beach, Cardinals games and time with our families. It’s the time of year when we visit together in the office. I hear about the fun you are having, see how much you have grown, and we work on whatever worries may have sprung up this year.

If you are a current patient, please remember to call and schedule annual physicals for your children.

If you are looking for a pediatrician, I would love to meet with you. Call my office anytime and ask to schedule a meet and greet with me.

STL BASEBALL TRIFECTA

ED WHEATLEY’S NEW BOOK ‘FROM ST. LOUIS TO COOPERSTOWN’ PLOTS PLAYERS’ PATHS THROUGH DECADES FROM BEST BASEBALL TOWN OF AMERICA

Author Ed Wheatley
“IN TODAY’S WORLD, BASEBALL MAY NOT BE TOP FIDDLE, GIVEN THE POPULARITY OF FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL. BUT IT’S VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO FORGET OUR REAL ROOTS AND HISTORY,” ED WHEATLEY PROCLAIMS.

Ever wonder why St. Louis is such a mega baseball hub?

According to a local baseball aficionado, it stems from what could be called a terrific trifecta: superior players within a groundbreaking baseball farm system launched in 1919; Hall of Fame-level sports journalists; and legendary broadcasters, especially play-by-play announcers -- all congregating in St. Louis. Arch City sports historian Ed Wheatley wants more people to understand the extent of these unique baseball pillars, which caused countless fans to fall in love with the game. So, in May, he released his new book: From St. Louis To Cooperstown: Legends Born and Made in the Gateway City, to tell stories of some of St. Louis's noteworthy but lesser known ballplayers.

"In today's world, baseball may not be top fiddle, given the popularity of football and basketball. But it's very important not to forget our real roots and history," he proclaims.

As a leader of the St. Louis Browns Historical Society, Ed works to preserve the chronology and legacy of this transplanted American League team. He also co-authored

St. Louis Browns: The Story of a Beloved Team and Incredible Cardinals, and he worked on a St. Louis Browns documentary that aired on PBS.

"What many people don't realize is of the 83 classes of baseball inductees since 1936, 54% of them have a St. Louis base. And of the individual inductees, 21% have St. Louis connections," he says.

Ed shares that the St. Louis Cardinals, under leadership of Branch Rickey in 1919, pioneered the modern baseball farm system and revolutionized player development by generating talent at a lower cost than acquiring players from other teams. Branch, as the Cardinals' general manager, then purchased interests in minor league teams, laying that crucial foundation over the years.

"Baseball fans know heroics of St. Louis baseball legends Hornsby, Dean, Musial, Schoendienst, Gibson and Brock, or at least they know their names. Their images are painted on Busch Stadium’s left field wall honoring their retired uniform numbers and their inductions into the National

Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. But the mural highlights only 13 of the 55 players inducted into the Hall of Fame who played for the National League’s St. Louis Cardinals," Ed poses.

"Who are these other players and what are their stories? What about the nine men from the American League’s St. Louis Browns whose plaques also hang in Cooperstown?"

For nearly a century, baseball was a segregated game. Ed says prior to Jackie Robinson breaking the barrier in 1947, the Gateway City heralded leading teams St. Louis Giants and Stars. Thirty seven members of the Black Baseball Leagues were inducted into the Hall of Fame; five have ties to the Giants and Stars. "What made each of them stand out over the thousands playing in the league?" Ed answers in his book.

Walk through baseball moments that players had on their roads to Cooperstown, Ed invites readers: "Find out which former Cardinal held baseball’s career home run record for more than a quarter century before being topped by Babe Ruth."

Ed especially references athletic prowess of St. Louis-based Beaumont High School, which was founded in 1926, because the school's graduates produced several Major League Baseball players during the late 1930s through the early 1950s; namely Earl Weaver, Roy Sievers, Jim Goodwin, Bob Wiesler and Bobby Hofman. Which baseball player was named after a president and was later played by a future president in his life story? Ed answers that, too.

Who had a higher career on base percentage than Babe Ruth and Ted Williams, although he retired 100 years ago? How many games did baseball’s winningest pitcher win in St. Louis? Which St. Louisan reached 300 wins before him? These are a few information trinkets found in this anthology of ballplayers who journeyed from St. Louis.

Ed's new 176-page book is available via local libraries and museums, and can be purchased for $32 at Schnucks locations or local bookstores, such as Main Street Books in St. Charles, Novel Neighbor in Webster Groves or Book House in Maplewood. It's also sold online through Amazon.

One last trivia bit, akin to Ed's book:  Although Yogi Berra was a famous St. Louis native, he never played for the St. Louis Cardinals. He spent the majority of his MLB career with the New York Yankees! As the story goes: Yogi and childhood friend Joe Garagiola both tried out for the Cardinals in 1941. Joe was given a contract and $500 signing bonus, while Yogi was only offered $250. Yogi refused the contract unless he was given the same offer as his friend. Yogi took his own advice: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

SNOOZETOPIA Awaits

ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY GORDON MONTGOMERY
“Deep restorative sleep brings wellness and longevity, and our exclusive Dream Mapping technology makes it easy!”

Better sleep is life-changing, promises Mike Baue, franchise owner of Snooze Mattress Company, a new store located at 17217 Chesterfield Airport Road. Chesterfield City Lifestyle asked him about the unique products and services he offers.

WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU PROVIDE?

"Top names in mattresses, foundations, adjustable bases, pillows, bedding and protectors, as well as products from our partnership with (longevity specialist) Gary Brecka and Ultimate Human. Our goal is to bridge the gap of wellness and sleep because they work hand in hand.”

HOW DOES SNOOZE MATTRESS'S DREAM MAPPING TECHNOLOGY HELP?

"We help clients find perfect mattresses based on their unique sleep needs, bodies, lifestyles and health goals. Our Dream Mapping technology is proprietary to Snooze, trusted by the Mayo Clinic, and combines advanced pressure mapping with personalized sleep consultations, all rooted in the latest sleep science. This anchors our personalized sleep consultation service, which also takes stress out of creating ideal, individualized sleep environments."

WHEN'S IT TIME TO GET NEW MATTRESSES?

"Many people forget mattresses are the most utilized piece of furniture we own. In fact, if you sleep eight hours a night that’s 3,000 hours on your mattress. After 10 years, you’ll have logged 30,000 hours on the same bed. If you’ve had major life changes, or you wake up feeling more tired than when you went to sleep, that's a solid sign. Or if the couch feels more comfortable than the bed. And, surely if a mattress looks worn and uneven."

WHY CHOOSE SNOOZE MATTRESS?

"As a local, family-operated business, we have faith-driven values guided by integrity, trust and service. We're the only actual, sleep shop in Missouri that specializes in sleep and health. Our partnerships with the largest names in the business, Tempurpedic, Sealy, Simmons, Serta, guarantee the best prices and best brands in the country."

Store Hours: Mondays-Saturdays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Sundays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.  314.303.7351

SO YOU WANT TO BE A COWBOY

DISCOVER THE WHIMSY OF THE WEST AT PAWS UP MONTANA

Favorably referred to as the “Last Best Place” and the “Treasure State,” Montana has captured the hearts of cinematic cowboys like Taylor Sheridan and Harrison Ford and inspired the television series “Yellowstone” and its prequels, “1883” and “1923.” Though fictional, they’ve reminded America of its deeply-rooted spirit for adventure and the simple yet rugged way of life that we all crave. Whether it’s the backdrop of jagged, snowcapped peaks or the endless golden pastures that are peppered with livestock, this Rocky Mountain soil is a breeding ground for dreamers and doers, and the people who call it home are no strangers to the ritual of ranch life.

So, you want to be a cowboy? Slipping on some leather and having a little hide in your hat are good ways to start, but visiting a resort that brings the best of this life to the forefront, while also embracing modern luxury, is the experience of a lifetime.

Paws Up Montana sprawls the distance of 37,000 private acres of historic estateland, which houses a working ranch and 10 miles of Blackfoot River. Personalization is key—a divine selection of cuisine for the foodies, awe-inspiring activities for the adrenaline seekers, and world-class lodging that tickles every fancy from stargazing glamping, to timber-style family dwellings, to the uniquely designed Green O hauses that invite the outside world in.

CHELSEA LYN AGRO PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

WHAT TO DO

To change your attitude, you need a change in altitude. Gain some speed or turn up the adrenaline level with ATV tours, electric biking, mountain biking, go-karts, paintball, rappelling down Lookout Rock or whitewater rafting down the Blackfoot River. Indulge in the western art of living with archery, fly-fishing, hiking or sporting clays. For those who want to immerse themselves in the language of horses, there are horse-related adventures such as lessons, grooming or feeding, horse-whispering workshops or organized trail rides. Riders can also enjoy cattle drives that bring you back to yesteryear—driving a herd of cattle across the famed landscape—and bear witness to Mustang gentling, where the Equestrian Manager communicates with a wild horse through body language and tone of voice. Skyline Aerial Adventure Park is another notable warm-weather activity, taking guests on two high-ropes courses.

WHERE TO STAY

Luxury Homes are categorized into preference-based properties that boast the thrill of wilderness living. For larger families and multigenerational groups, consider the Wilderness Estates. At 3,250-squarefeet, these estates sleep up to eight guests and feature three large suites with private baths. The Big Timber Homes are available in one-to-three bedroom options and come ornamented with fireplaces and private decks. The Meadow Homes are 1,100-square-foot single-story homes that sleep up to four guests, situated amid a pastoral and treed setting. For an extra nod of perfection, choose one of the luxury homes that comes equipped with a private tent—ideal for anyone traveling with children (or adults who beckon back their childhood!).

For a more primitive experience, Glamping Homes offer the right amount of canvas to create a close-to-nature experience. Available mid-May through mid-October, choose from river settings to creeksides, bluffs or cliffs. Each tent is adorned with something unique—a copper tub, a picturesque view of Lewis and Clark’s famous Lookout Rock and Western-chic furniture throughout. Zip down the windows to allow for the cool nightly breeze, yet enjoy the modern convenience of electricity. Each campsite has a dining pavilion. And don’t miss the s’mores boards around the communal fire pit, offered by your own s’moresologist—yes, you read that right, and yea, it’s a thing.

Lastly, but certainly not least, are the state-of-theart accommodations of the Green O hauses. This portion of the property is completely curated for those 21 years of age and older. It’s a resort within a resort, a hidden pearl in an oyster of experience. The Tree Haus is elevated 23 feet in the air and offers unparalleled forest views. The Green Haus includes a skylight above the bed for an unmatched view of pluck-emfrom-the-sky stars. The Round Haus has curved, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer 180-degree panoramic views. Both the Green and Round Hauses are dog friendly, too, so Fido can rest in the lap of luxury. The Light Haus is illuminated by skylights and unique glass design.

DRINK & DINE

Montana’s best kept secret? Our hideaway chefs, making waves from the Montana wilderness. Chef Brandon Cunningham, Executive Chef at the Green O, is a James Beard Award finalist whose creations at the Social Haus are highly curated through an 8-course tasting menu. Other highly trained and talented chefs like Chef Brett Edlund, Chef Ben Scott, Executive Pastry Chef Krystle Swenson, and Sunny Jin, the General Manager of Food and Beverage, are part of the intricate patchwork of the culinary experience at Pomp, Trough, Shed, Camp and the notable Chuck Wagon—a summertime treat where guests can ride a hay wagon along the banks of the Blackfoot River for an Old West-inspired chuck wagon dinner. The menu ranges from all-natural chicken and Tomahawk ribeye to fresh vegetables grilled over an open flame campfire.

HOW TO GET HERE

Airport: Missoula Montana Airport (MSO) Airport transfers from Missoula are complimentary for guests and all luxury home and Green O accommodations come with a Lexus luxury SUV for transportation use on property.
