Favorite Course you’ve been to: Boot Ranch in Fredericksburg Texas.
What’s your favorite place you played: My favorite round of golf is always the next one because there is no way I could play worse than how I am playing in my current round.
What’s one thing people don’t know about you: When I was really young I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my left ankle and had to get surgery. Everything is all good now though!
Were you involved in golf before working with the STPGA: No, I golfed casually in high school and college but that was really the extent of my relationship with golf.
What’s your favorite way to spend a day off: On a day off I love sleeping in. I also love to attend any sort of music event that might be going on around me. I love checking out thrift shops to see what kind of cool deals I might find. I would like to say that I get caught up on laundry but that pile of clothes in my room that has yet to be folded would tell you otherwise.
What would you sing at karaoke night: This would depend on the vibe of the establishment. You Never Even Called Me by My Name by David Allan Coe, Should’ve Been a Cowboy by Toby Keith and Motivation by Kelly Rowland are all in my repertoire.
What was your first job: I worked at a waterpark as a “pool attendant”.
What’s the farthest you’ve ever been from Texas:
Probably Hawaii.
What are some of your favorite hobbies: Fantasy Football probably occupies an unhealthy amount of my time, but it is a great way for me to stay in touch with friends! Shopping is also another hobby of mine. I enjoy trying to piece together my next outfit for whatever event I might have coming up. Most of my time is spent on youtube getting Fantasy Football advice or seeing what the next big men’s fashion trend might be.
What’s your favorite golf memory: The Drive Chip and Putt Regional that was held at Champions Golf Club.
What did you want to be when you were little: Major League Baseball player.
Who is your favorite pga pro? Why?: Kevin Kisner. I love his confidence and his demeanor during PGA tournaments but I also like that he is willing to have a good time outside the tour and not take himself too seriously.. THIS AIN'T NO HOBBY!
What is your favorite sport outside of golf: To play: Baseball. To watch: Football.
What’s your favorite quote:
“There are a lot of little reasons why the big things in our life happen” - Ted Mosby
