On his journey to pursue his dream of competing on the PGA TOUR:
“My journey is not the typical journey. I did not grow up in a prototypical golf family. My father and brother both played golf. Once I got the bug, I was hooked. I started out in Pittsburgh as a golf professional and moved to Arizona to further my golf career. I became a golf professional in 1993. The biggest thing that has prevented me from reaching the next level has been consistent financial backing. Just like many players, it is tough to play without proper funding. Big Break can help me overcome my obstacles and achieve my dreams.”
