Dr. Neil Sood was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL. As a high-energy kid, his parents enrolled him in nearly every sport imaginable—including tennis, baseball, soccer, football, and golf. During his freshman year at Florida State University, he had the unforgettable experience of watching his school win the BCS National Championship in football.
