About Me
Background:
I am orginally from Maple Grove, MN, a northwest suburb of the Twin Cities. I am 22 years of age and an only child. I graduated from Maple Grove Senior High School in 2003, finishing in the top 10% of my class. Throughout high school, I was actively involved in various extracurricular activities including concert band, hockey, and golf.
Golf:
Golf is a large part of my life. I started at the young age of 4 years old and have been ever since. Along the way, I have collected a variety of accolades. In high school, I was a 4 year starter on the Varsity squad. I was co-captain my junior year and captain my senior year. I achieved all-conference status and qualified for State my senior year. I was involved in AAU and AJGA players tours during the summer months and qualified for AAU Nationals three consecutive years. I have traveled across the country playing some of the most prestigious courses including TPC Sawgrass, Blackwolf Run, Whistling Straits, Cog Hill, and numerous other top notch courses. I plan on traveling to Ireland and Scotland in a few years to visit and play some of the oldest courses around.
Hockey:
Growing up in Minnesota, hockey was a must for me. I started skating at the tender age of 3 years old and never stopped. I didn't acheive as much success in hockey as in golf, but love it just the same. I was a constant spectator at all of my cousins high school games, numerous University of Minnesota Golden Gopher, and a few Minnesota Wild games. I will continue to enjoy participating and watching hockey until I'm old and grey.
Travel:
Traveling has been a hobby of mine ever since I traveled to Australia at age 13. Visiting different countries and learning about their histories and cultures have fascinated me and its something I believe everyone should have the chance to do. I will be traveling to Ireland in the coming years to visit the town where my ancestry started and to learn more about who I am.
