I proudly served for 20 years in the United States Army, completing five combat tours, and holding key leadership roles as an infantry team leader, squad leader, and platoon sergeant, and later serving as a combat advisor with the 1st Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB). During my military career, I also competed numerous times on the All-Army Golf Team. Following my military retirement, I continued to pursue competitive golf at the collegiate level, earning national recognition as the oldest NCAA Division I athlete in the country while playing at Stephen F. Austin State University. From September 2024 to July 2025, I served as an Assistant Golf Professional and Junior Golf Leader at Bull Creek Golf Course in Columbus, GA, where I focused on growing the game and mentoring young players. I also served as the head coach of the Brookstone School Boys Golf Team, leading them to a ranking as high as 3rd in the state of Georgia and 64th nationally. From July 2025 through January 2026 I served as the 1st Assistant Golf Professional at Salem Glen Country Club in Clemmons, NC, and I am now the Head Golf Professional at Silver Creek Golf Club in Morganton, NC.
