Alan Tousley was born and raised in the California Bay Area and then Portland Oregon Area, He Graduated in 1973 from Grant High School in Portland, Oregon while lettering in basketball. He served in the US Army from 1974-77 and is considered a Vietnam Era Veteran, although he never saw combat action. Following the military, he went to college and graduated from the University of Oregon with a BS in Business, and finished his course work in 1985. He spent the next several decades working in his field of study for a diverse group of companies and he owned his own Auto Glass business which he sold.

Alan met his wife, Tracy, while working for Circle K and they were married in 1996 and together had a child (Claire) born in 1997. They are still together.

While at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Alan played several sports to include basketball, softball, and volleyball. It was there that he, at the age of 28, discovered golf. It was during a Superstars event in which golf was one of the events. Immediately he was hooked and began hitting the driving range almost daily and started playing a nine-hole course nearby. Like everyone else he has had many highlights and heartbreaks with his golf relationship but enjoys playing as often as possible. “Perhaps, the best thing that has come from my time on the course have been the friendships I have developed.”
