He was co-captain of the golf team at Miami U., the MAC champion. While at Miami U. he met a nice girl who liked to shag balls, Frances Robinson, and married her. Sam and Frances live in Bexley, Ohio near their three sons and two daughters-in-law. Sam is currently the principal of an architecture practice in Columbus, Ohio.

He was only eight when his father gave him his first set of golf clubs. This was the beginning of his interest in golf Sam has found an intriguing affinity of golf to painting. Both are forms of recreation.
