Childhood I was born in Cape Coral, Florida, in 1999, and I spent most of my younger years in Rockford, Illinois. I then went to Galesburg High School, in Galesburg, Illinois, before going to Illinois Central College in the fall of 2017. Since then, my family has moved back to Rockford, Illinois. This has not affected my grown up siblings, but I now have a much longer drive to college.

Sports I played many sports growing up, but it was always clear that my main sport was going to be golf. I played basketball and soccer for many years growing up, and I wasn't bad, but the talent just wasn't there like it was in golf. In high school, I decided to just stick with one sport, and it has paid off. I am playing golf here at ICC, and I haven't burned out, and the grind is very rewarding. I love the camaraderie of the sport and the constant pursuit of perfection. I do not plan on trying to go pro, but I can't see myself quitting tournament golf after college.

Career I have bounced around many ideas over the years as to what I want to do for my profession. I always figured it would be something in the sciences, but I wasn't always sure exactly what. Based on what I was good at academically, many people told me to be an engineer. I liked the idea, but it didn't really fit exactly what I wanted to accomplish in my life. I have since decided to pursue a career in renewable energy engineering. This career will allow me to use my skills in science, while doing something that involves my passion for protecting the planet.

Hobbies I have many hobbies that are golf related, but I will choose not to focus on those because it will be too boring. I like hanging out with my friends, playing pokemon go religiously, and doing anything that involves being outside doing athletic activities. I also really enjoy a good night of video games with friends, but that will never compare to a good summer day hiking or throwing around the frisbee.

Goals There are a few goals I have for my life in different areas. I want to be able to build a stable life for myself and whatever family I have in the future. I want to reach my potential in golf, wherever that leads me. But most importantly, I want to take my career in renewable energy engineering to a place where I can really make a positive impact on the planet. I'm sure my goals will change, but I believe in following these ones long term.

Fitness and Wellness I have been focusing a lot more on fitness and wellness in recent years. I realized that to be better at golf, just practicing wasn't enough. I would have to get stronger, more flexible, and have more endurance. Mental strength is important as well, but it isn't enough on its own. Because of this, I have been working on my diet and my fitness hard to become a better golfer and human being as well.
