On his journey to become a PGA of America Professional and his dreams of playing on the PGA TOUR:
“I decided I wanted to become a professional golfer right after college.  I received a golf scholarship to play golf at Iona College and after graduation, I didn’t know what to do with my life, but golf was all I knew.  I started working at a private club in Westchester County, N.Y., and did not like it at all.  I was working in the bag room.  I switched from golf to the restaurant business.  That was the best decision I ever made.  I met my future wife, and also realized that working 60 hours a week did not afford me to play golf, and I missed the golf business.  In 2005, I made some significant changes in my life, and turned professional after joining the PGA of America as an apprentice.  I love the business-side of golf.  However, I feel that Big Break is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to realize my goal of competing on the PGA TOUR.”
