I played golf for the Red Raiders and graduated in 2009. I absolutely
LOVE our school. Since then I have played professionally on the mini tours with
the dream of winning on the PGA Tour. I have had many ups and downs over the
last few years, but just recently decided it was time to move on.
As a professional, I had several heartbreaking Q School
runs. In 2010, I missed advancing to the Final Stage by just two strokes. In
2011, I missed advancing to the Final stage by just one shot. (If you advance
to the Final Stage, you will earn your PGA or Web.com (Nationwide) tour card
depending on your results.) In 2012, I had a great summer but wasn't able to
put it together at Q School in the Fall.
I started at a preferred walk-on at Tech, but earned a
scholarship soon after. I was First Team All-Big 12 and a two time Academic All-American.
I became the captain of Texas Tech golf team as a junior, and helped lead our
team to several National Championship appearances and a top 10 ranking. I gave
my heart and soul to Texas Tech as a student athlete, and now I bleed scarlet
and black.
I graduated with a 3.5 GPA from the Rawls College of
Business (finance) and the Honors College. I am seeking a career in the finance
side of the oil and gas business. I am calling on the great Red Raider Nation
to help out a young Red Raider. Please email me if you are willing to meet with
me, would like to see my full resume, or put me in contact with someone in the
industry.
