Why did you choose Central?
When I came to visit, I really liked the campus and the overall environment that Central offers. It was important to me to go to a school that would prepare me for life outside of school and beyond.
Favorite professor and why?
Timothy Johnson. The class I had with him was very interesting and overall just enjoyable to be in. He has also traveled all over the world, and that is something I hope to do.
You’re majoring in Business Finance because?
I have always been fascinated with money, so I am just chasing a curiosity that I’ve had since childhood.
Besides athletics, what else are you involved in on campus?
Nothing.
Who are your go-to musical artists?
GRiZ, The Red Clay Strays, Deftones, and Lil Baby.
How has attending Central and playing a sport impacted your life?
It has had a significant impact on my life. Through playing golf at Central, I’ve had the opportunity to meet a wide range of people and be part of experiences that I otherwise wouldn’t have had.
What is your favorite and least favorite hole at Bos Landen GC?
My favorite hole is 11, and my least favorite is 14. If you’ve played Bos, you understand how difficult 14 is.
What club do you trust the most in your bag?
Driver. For the most part, I have control over it, and it’s by far the most fun club to hit well.
What course anywhere in the world would you most want to play?
Augusta National Golf Club. It is probably one of the most exclusive courses in the world to play, so if given the opportunity, I would have to choose it.

The Long Game.
Favorite TV show?
Suits.
What’s it like to compete for Coach Blasi?
Playing for Coach Blasi is a great experience. His knowledge of the mental side of the game has helped me tremendously. Along with that, he has a ton of wisdom within the game to help players become the best that they can be.
What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central’s men’s golf team?
The relationships I’ve made. The camaraderie we have whether it’s at the dinner table, playing qualifiers, or traveling to tournaments, makes it a really fun environment to be part of.
What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?
Hopefully I’m still playing golf, living somewhere cool, and working a fulfilling and meaningful job.
Favorite food from Central Market?
Although I’ve only had it once, the burger quesadilla they made for National Burger Day last year was elite.
