GOLF ACCOMPLISHMENTS

I first picked up a club at about 4 years old and hit balls at the local driving range in Glendora, California. My first competitive endeavours came at age 9 when I moved to Hawaii and I won my first tournament at age 11, The Kapalua Junior Championship.

From there I went on to grow my junior golf skills and compete on the local Maui tour before moving to La Quinta to gain more golf oppurtunities. I went on to win multiple tournaments on the SCPGA junior tour circuit and proceeded to compete at the national level, winning multiple International junior golf tour events- even winning the points race on multiple occasions. After leaving that stage I ventured into High School golf at La Quinta High School making a name as one of the best high school golfers in the Coachella Valley. I now play college golf at California Baptist University where I am in my sophomore year. My future goal is to become an elite international player on the PGA Tour.
