    Played all four years at Virginia Commonwealth University with fellow professional Rafael Campos. The pair lived together in a small two-bedroom loft apartment a quarter-mile from campus.

    Favorite golf memory is playing 45 holes a day at his local nine-hole course every weekend.

    Dream foursome includes Ken Griffey Jr., Jimmy Fallon and Jerry Rice. Would like to be on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" because "he is hysterical and talented."

    He is a pesce-pollotarian, with his diet consisting of fish and poultry and excluding red meat.

    Was named after a spiritual master (Lord Lanto) and is very thankful for his balanced upbringing.

    Lanto Griffin Foundation is a public foundation established in 2021. The foundation’s mission is committed to uplifting the community in the Roanoke and New River Valley area, focusing on assisting families battling devastating or terminal illnesses that cannot afford to support their needs. In addition, the foundation looks to provide support for disadvantaged youth, so they excel in sports with a goal of receiving college scholarships. The Lanto Charity Classic, held annually at Ballyhack Golf Club, is the primary fundraiser for the foundation.

    During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, along with his girlfriend, Maya, fostered a dog named Troy and adopted him.
