Junior
Burlington, Iowa
Why Central?
I chose Central because of the small school atmosphere. The high school I went to was a really small private school where I graduated with 26 people in my class. Everyone knew each other there and that’s what it’s like here to an extent. I also chose Central because of the golf program that is traditionally rich. Coach Green is a great guy and it makes things much easier when you have a coach that pushes you to be the best both on and off the course.
Favorite professor and why?
I’d have to go Keith Jones and Andy Campbell. Keith was my professor in Psychology fall semester freshman year and he really helped me get used to the college academic life. He still keeps in touch with me to this day and it’s great to have someone like that on campus. Professor Campbell is in my major’s department and he makes class a great learning experience for everyone by making all people get actively involved in discussions. He’s also a big Iowa Hawkeye fan so that’s a huge plus.
In your iPod?
I mainly have a lot of hip hop/rap, country and pop music. Mike Stud, Eminem, Luke Bryan and definitely not Iggy Azalea.
You’re majoring in Business Management because?
I’ve always liked the idea of sales and because BMGT is a really broad major that I can expand on in the future. There's a lot of opportunities out there with a business degree and my emphasis on Marketing will help focus in on sales as well as advertising for a company which I’ve always found interesting.
Best course you’ve ever played?
Spirit Hollow Golf Course in Burlington, IA. I’m a little biased but it’s an amazing course and one of the toughest I’ve ever played.
The one club you know you’ll hit pure every time
Definitely my putter
Toughest hole at Bos Landen
Everybody thinks #14 is the toughest but I’m saying that it’s hole #8. There’s not a lot to it but it is part of a tough stretch of holes which maximizes its danger.
Favorite sport besides golf
Basketball is probably my 2nd favorite sport because I love dunking on Brock Morris and crossing up Chad Plaehn.
If you could pick any three people to compete in a dream foursome, who would you chose and why?
I would go with Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth and Steph Curry. Tiger is the G.O.A.T., Spieth is unreal right now at 23 years old and Steph golf's all the time and is mesmerizing on the court.
Favorite part of Spring break trip to San Diego
Getting out of the snow and cold in Iowa to the beaches of San Diego. Also I had never been to California so it was awesome to go with our golf team.
What is your dream job?
My dream job would be to own a golf course in a warm part of the country so it could be open year round.
The one thing people don’t about Coach Green
On October 16, 2015, Coach Green tripled his household income.
Why do you love Central golf?
Central golf has connected me to awesome friends and allowed me to play great courses in the Midwest as well as in North Carolina and Florida. It’s a great program with a lot of history and it’s special to be a part of that.
“Ten years from now I’ll...”
Be married to my smoking hot wife who has a great personality in California where I own my own golf course and play every single day year round. My two kids will be frolicking in the backyard having the time of their lives.
Favorite food from Central Market
Sunday brunch as a whole. The freshly cut turkey or chicken mixed in with eggs and bacon is what I look forward to all weekend.
Bucket list
To go to The Masters. Travel to all 50 states.
