He played his final 2 years of collegiate golf at Tusculum College in Greeneville, TN, earning Academic All-American honors my senior campaign. He began my career as a golf professional at the Ballantyne Golf Academy in Charlotte, NC before making a transition to an assistant professional position at Cowan's Ford Golf Club in Stanley, NC. He gained his Class A PGA certification in April of 2020, and I am beyond excited to see where this journey takes me. As for my teaching, he isa strong advocate of wide, rotational golf swings.

He is a certified Titleist, Scotty Cameron, Ping, and Mizuno club fitter, as well as being an Operation 36 certified coach. He loves working with baseball guys and athletes of all sports.
