rashad latif - Chief strategy Officer
Rashad “Shad aka Rich” Latif grew up in Washington, D.C., hustling behind the scenes at entertainment giants like B.E.T. That experience sparked a brief but lively screenwriting career, but his drive came from his athleticism in basketball, track, tennis, and even swinging clubs at local driving ranges here and there. This led him to pen a passion-project screenplay about America’s first Black golf legend, John Shippen. After relocating to Los Angeles with his then-girlfriend, now wife, he found himself surrounded by sun-soaked fairways but uninspired by the sport’s lack of diversity. Soon fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and a tech career demanding his focus, pushed golf to the background.
Everything changed when he connected with a group of dads from diverse backgrounds who shared his dream of a more inclusive golf world. As a founding member of ParVI, alongside five Black fathers united by family, culture, and teamwork, Rashad now serves as the Chief Strategy Officer, Business & Technical Advisor for PavVI. He’s determined to bring golf beyond the course, championing inclusivity and ensuring every aspiring golfer feels at home on the fairways.
Ash Williams - Chief Risk Management Officer
With 17 years of experience in insurance and risk management, Ash Williams brings a wealth of expertise in Professional Liability and Cyber Liability to the table. His sharp business acumen is complemented by his Real Estate Broker’s license, showcasing his versatility as an entrepreneur.
As a proud father of two, Ash’s passion for golf was ignited by his own father, an avid golfer, inspiring a deeper connection to the game. As Ash connected with a circle of like-minded fathers, they bonded over the sport, only to notice something glaring: a lack of diversity in the golf world.
From this realization, Par VI was born, where Ash is driven by a mission to create space for authenticity, individuality, and representation, allowing people to unapologetically embrace who they are while stepping onto the course.

That occurred organically when he teamed up with a group of like-minded professionals who wanted to expand the benefits of what golf can do for a person holistically. ParVI is a collection of Black excellence on full display. Using his experience as a Social Emotional counselor for minority youth as well as coaching, Thomas holds the position of Chief Community Officer & Golf Advisor to ParVI.

dennis gamble - Chief marketing Officer
Born and raised in Metro Detroit (Pontiac), Dennis Gamble was a curious and ambitious kid who thrived in sports and the classroom, briefly playing football in college.

A storyteller by nature, he turned his passions into a career, becoming the first social media hire at fortune 500 grocery giant SpartanNash and has since led digital marketing efforts for major brands, including: Goodwill, Disney and Warner Bros.
As a young adult, he was introduced to golf. The mental challenge, physical discipline, he fell in love with it all. However, he was struck by the lack of diversity in the sport— often thinking “why don’t I know any black golfers?”
The son of a teacher and social worker, education and service has always been instilled in him. So when he met five Black fathers who shared his experiences, vision and dreams for golf, he was all in on Par VI. Dennis is honored to serve as Par VI’s Chief Marketing Officer.
