I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I have consistently demonstrated to be capable, reliable, and qualified in all areas of my life. Throughout my educational career, I have shown diligence and persistence, earning a Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering with 4.0 GPA. In industry, I worked my way up through many positions of management and leadership to a global director over R&D labs. In my personal life, I am a faithful and loving husband to my wife and excellent father to my two young children. I am a law abiding citizen that works hard every day for my family.”

“We desire to sell beer and wine at iSwing Indoor Golf because we know that it is something people would enjoy, and even maybe expect, at an indoor golf practice & play facility. Our business will operate similarly in nature to outdoor diriving ranges, bowling alleys, and other sports-orientated family fun centers that serve alcohol. Our community in Anthem, AZ lacks and greatly needs new forms of fun and entertainment for families and people of all ages. We only hope to provide people something that will make their experience more enjoyable.”
