Tony Laughlin grew up in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The middle of three brothers. A family where work was honest, love was loud, and community was centered around sports.
He became a published biomechanist, golf instructor at The Glen Club, sports scientist at ASMI and IMG Academy, and Director of Sports Science at Guided Knowledge.
On May 16, 2021, Tony was driving from Sarasota to Miami to pitch a new golf sensor product to an investor. He was on the phone with his parents when a pickup truck blew a tire on Alligator Alley, crossed the median, and hit him head on. He died at the scene. 37 years old. He left behind his wife Britnee, their three-year-old daughter Aria, and a community of family and friends.
Five years later today, we’re more inspired than ever to make an impact, elevate life, and stay RAD.
Walter Anthony Laughlin — 3/4/1984 – 5/16/2021

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Rad moms out there 😎💕
Special love to the Laughlin moms (Marianne, Britnee, Stefanie, Brittany), our Aiyash momma (Kerry), and the sisterhood of traveling aunts who were our second moms (Aunt Laura, Anita, and Jill). You held us together when things got heavy and cheered the loudest when they got rad.
We wouldn’t be here without you. Simple as that.
Happy Mother’s Day! 💜
