I have been playing golf for as long as I can remember. My dad is a Professional Golf Instructor so it was fate for me to have a plastic club in my hand before I could walk.  My dad would bring me in the stroller to the driving range to watch him practice. He knew that I would want to copy him because that's what kids do, so I started swinging at ping pong balls in the living room and in the yard, and by the age of 2, I was hitting golf balls at the driving range with my Dad & Grandpa. 

​

I was born on June 26, 1999, in Edina, Minnesota. My brother Bobby and I grew up practicing and playing on our driving range which was our family business. I learned at an early age the importance of hard work and dedication by watching my parents small business owners. I practiced and worked at the driving range. I picked the range, washed balls and worked in the shop selling buckets to customers. We also had an 18 hole wedge course which helped me hone in my swing and short game. I knew at an early age that I wanted to be a professional golfer playing golf all over the world. 

​

I began playing in golf tournaments when I was 4 years old. Tournament golf is much more different than playing recreational golf. You have to learn to control your attitude, play your own game, and learn to hit shots under pressure. You can't avoid pressure, you have to learn how to manage it. I've lost more tournaments than I've won which have taught me to lose graciously and to never ever ever ever give up.
