Why did you choose Central?


I chose Central because I knew they had a very successful golf program and that winning conference and making it to nationals was very achievable and I could help in that process. Also it was a small school and the atmosphere on campus was great and it felt like home.

Favorite professor and why?

Dr. Yanner, we went bowling once a week for class.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Toby Mac and Hillsong United.

You’re majoring in business management because? 

Business Management because I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life… besides just golf.

What are 3 things you like to do during your free time?

Golf, hangout with my teammates, and Squads in Fortnite with Walker, Kronk, Nash, Dillon, Berst, and Drew.

Choose your age forever, what age would you choose and why?

33, I would be right in my prime just like LeBron.

Most embarrassing (sport) experience

Probably playing Dunk ball this last spring and driving down the lane and pulling a Jalen Brown only though falling on my face.

If you could time travel, would you to the past or future?

Future so I would know what my job would be in the future and who my wife would be.

What was your dream job growing up?

Professional Golfer

What is the oldest thing you own?

A shirt from when I was 3 that a family friend bought me that said, “Golf is what Tiger and Kobe do best!”

Favorite TV Show

The Office

What makes you excited about Coach Blasi?

His experience, he’s easy to talk to he is a very successful coach and he loves what we have going here at Central. Working with him this fall is going to be a blast, and I can’t wait to finish my last 2 years of college with him as my coach.

What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central golf?

The family atmosphere with the team, knowing that everyone on this team is like a brother and just how close I have gotten with everyone! They’ll be my best friends for the rest of my life.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Be successful, living the life somewhere warmer then Pella (hopefully North Carolina), and golfing year round.

Favorite food from Central Market

Friday night Chicken Wraps, I always get two!

Bucket list

Meet (the GOAT) Tiger Woods
