Personal Statement
Thank you for visiting my recruiting page! My most recent recruiting video is the second one down below. My stats are below this mission statement.
Ever since I was 5-years-old I have loved golf; from playing golf with my father and grandfather, to getting together with friends to play a round or two, this sport has always been an integral part of my life. I'm the type of golfer who enjoys the company of his teammates and appreciates the support of his peers while working towards an individual accomplishment that ultimately ties into a team effort. I'm the guy on the team who will invite the group over to my house to play some hoops, enjoy pizza and watch the Final Four, in between hitting balls in my basement. I'm a solid student who knows how to work independently and manage my time wisely. I'm very interested in studying law and participating in college golf and one day, pursue a professional career in golf and maybe be my own agent. I have a weighted GPA of 3.5 and will be taking AP and Honors classes my senior year, while playing varsity golf and participating in service work through my high school.
As the oldest of three sons in my family, I hope to set an example for my brothers that with hard work, tenacity and dedication, goals are attainable.
My top three attributes that I am seeking in a college golf program:
I am looking for a strong support system, including facilities and coaches that will help me continue to strive for success, a team thatwill reinforce core values that are known to golfers (etiquette, team pride and strong friendships) and most importantly, a program that will enhance my educational goals and beyond.
