[Chicago]

I played Basketball/Baseball/Golf in high school and although basketball was my first and only love I just couldn't compete with guys faster then me. I had heart and I worked my tail off but it wasn't in the calling to move onto the next level unless I wanted to do a walk-on type D-3.

My last two years of high school I got more and more into golf even though I was raised by a golf course I never truly took it seriously until then. We won state my senior year and off I went to a D-1 university to play college golf.

The minute I knew I wasn't going to go any further in golf like semi or pro was when I shot a 75 in cold,rainy, and hail gust windy conditions and thought I had a good chance to win a tourney or at least help our team win. A guy shot a 65 and I was at a loss. I worked hard it but I just had too much fun in college to think about the next step.

But ultimately the next step led me to coaching. I always was good with coaches and the players and worked my tail off and that realy helped in landing me a job. I got a job as an assistant on both the men's and woman's team for the same college team I played for the year before.

I did that for two years then worked for a golf magazine and am now chasing a normal non sports career. Ok thats me in a nut shell.
