I grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where my childhood home backed up to a golf course — so golf was part of life early on. But it wasn’t until my teens that I truly fell in love with the game. Sports were always a big part of my world, from football and basketball to baseball, but golf quickly became my passion.

After moving to Moorestown, New Jersey, I graduated from Moorestown High School in 2005, where I captained the golf team and competed on several junior tours. I went on to play collegiate golf at Pfeiffer University before transferring to the University of Maryland, where I studied architecture and earned a degree in art with a focus in woodworking.

Since 2010, I’ve worked in a family business, and since 2011, I’ve been a proud golf member at Riverton Country Club, where I continue to play in tournaments and match-play events. Golf has always been more than a sport for me — it’s a lifelong connection to community, competition, and craftsmanship.
