Grew up in the small town of Pendleton, IN. I fell in love with the game at an early age when my parents bought me a set of clubs when I was three. I started competing in local junior events at the age of eight then on to the Mt. Dew Junior tour at the age of 12. During my Junior and Senior of high school I qualified for the Aquafina Masters Tour. After High School I wanted to turn my love for the game into a career. I enrolled into the Golf Academy of America and graduated in 2008 with a degree in Golf Complex Operations and Management. I went to work for the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club in 2009 as an Assistant Golf Professional. It is here where I developed my passion for teaching others the game of golf. after four years of being a Golf Professional I decided teaching is what I wanted to do and left to join the TBGA to become a full time golf instructor.
