Career Stats:

Personal: Diagnosed with “Gigantism” in high school. Father of two – one daughter and one son.

On what has prevented him from reaching the next level in professional golf:

“What has prevented me from going to the next level is money. As great as I have done, I live paycheck to paycheck or tournament to tournament. I haven’t had the ability to sign up months ahead for a national tour, much less put the $5,000-plus up for Q-School.”

What is the biggest challenge you have had to face in your life?
“The biggest challenge I overcame was a brain tumor in high school. The tumor caused me to grow to the height I am now and also caused many of the joint and back problems I have now. Going through this taught me to realize how fortunate I am. When I was in the hospital having the tumor removed, I was surrounded by young children with terminal illnesses who were never going to leave the hospital. It taught me to be grateful for what I have and that things are never as bad as they seem.”
