Personal Bio

I grew up in Lakewood, Colorado, and was introduced to the game at a young age by my dad and my grandpa. I was primarily a baseball player up until 8th grade, when I stopped playing baseball and turned my focus to golf. After finishing 2nd in one of my first junior events, I knew golf was something I wanted to pursue. I kept improving up through high school, earning 2 conference player of the year and 2 all-state awards, and eventually got recruited to play golf at the University of Wisconsin. Over my college career I earned 1 victory, 11 top 10’s, and my senior season set the program record for single season scoring average on my way to a First-Team all-Big Ten selection. I earned PGA Tour Latinoamerica status in my first year as a pro, and am currently in my second season with status on what is now PGA Tour Americas. I can’t wait for what the future holds and am excited to bring you guys along with me on my journey to the PGA Tour.

Fun Facts

  • One of the reasons I fell in love with the game as a kid was because the junior camp at the course near me would give the kids a can of soda after each session and I wasn’t allowed to have soda at home
  • I grew up just outside Denver and am a huge Denver sports fan. The Colorado Avalanche are my favorite team
  • I earned two bachelors degrees from the University of Wisconsin, one in Statistics and the other in Political Science
