GHIN# 0803618 - see where I’ve played lately and what I shot. 

I grew up in Southern California skateboarding, surfing, and playing golf. I moved to NYC when I was 19 to study painting and got a summer job caddying at Siwanoy CC in Bronxville, NY and became obsessed with the game. During this time I also caddied for local pros in Met PGA Professional events for 4 years and caddied in the winter down in West Palm, FL at McArthur Golf Club and Seminole GC. I eventually moved back to NY where I worked as an Assistant Golf Professional at Rockaway Hunting Club in Long Island. I went back to California one winter and decided to stay and worked as a Club Fitter for a major retailer and eventually a Sales Rep for SeeMore Putter Co and Demo Day Rep for Adams Golf. During this time I was also caddying for a mini tour pro who made it to 2nd stage of Q-School two years in a row. I’ve shot in the 60s a bunch of times but my best round of golf is an even par 71 from the tips at Bethpage Black. I dream about caddying for my sons and daughters as their game develops.
