Living his childhood dream, he thrived as a professional golfer, competing at the highest level on the PGA TOUR. Beyond the fairways, his achievements were equally impressive. Co-founding Greyson Clothiers with one of his best friends, Morgan enjoyed immediate success as an entrepreneur. Embracing his passions, he took up aviation, even piloting his own flights to tournaments. Most importantly, he found a partner in his wife Chelsea who matches his own outlook and enthusiasm for life.
At some point, he began to notice an issue with a pectoral muscle and sought medical advice. Following an arduous process of tests and consultations, he received a life-altering diagnosis in 2017: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Doctors gave very little in terms of support or direction, so Morgan and Chelsea sprang into action.
What followed was an incredible journey, one that stirred a profound awakening within Morgan. As he sought answers for himself, he uncovered invaluable lessons that transformed his perspective on life. Confronting an ostensibly insurmountable challenge, he harnessed it as a catalyst for unprecedented growth. When conventional medical avenues faltered, he discovered solace in the embrace of nature, nourishment in the power of food, and strength within his own being.
Shortly after his 2017 diagnosis, Morgan and Chelsea established The Morgan Hoffmann Foundation, driven by an unwavering commitment to share these transformative insights with the world.
