Heintschel said,
“The lessons I learned as a
caddie at Inverness helped
me throughout my college
days and then extended tomy
career at Marathon. Insights
into the personalities of
the people I worked for
and came to know at the
Club were invaluable.
The confidence I gained
from interacting with the
members and professional
staff at Inverness is
leveraged personally and
professionally to this day.”
Jay earned his Evans
Scholarship in 1974,
graduated from The Ohio
State University and was
hired by Marathon Oil in
1978. While working for
Marathon, Jay earned his
MBA from Bowling Green
State University in 1980. He
is currently in his 38 th year
with the company and holds
the position ofVice President,
Business Development.
Jay, like so many Evans
Scholar alumni, continues
to be involved with fund
raising and the efforts of the
Evans Scholars Foundation.
Whenever his schedule
permits, he attends the annual
selection committeemeetings
where high school senior
finalists are interviewed for
an Evans Scholarship.
A few years ago, after his wife
attended one of the selection
committee meetings with
Jay, she suggested they
needed to find a way to
become more involved with
the Evans Scholars program.
As a result, the Heintschel’s
funded an Endowed Name
Scholarship to award a
worthy female caddy an
Evans Scholarship with full
paid room and tuition to The
Ohio State University.
Jay feels he never could
have achieved the level of
success in life and his career
without the invaluable
lessons learned as a caddie.
Continuing the spirit of other
Evans Scholars that have
found success, he is giving
back to grow and promote
the
for other worthy caddies.
