2011: Will play on a Major Medical extension in 2012. Will have 14 starts to earn $31,602 and retain conditional status. Needs to earn $89,999 to retain fully exempt status.

Had made the cut in just five of 11 starts prior to that point with his best finish a T38 at the Panama Claro Championship to open the season. 2010: Played on a Major Medical Extension and did not make his first start of the year until late May. Wound up making nine cuts in 14 starts and ended the season No. 58 on the money list.

Posted his first top-10 of the year in his 10th start in September at the Soboba Golf Classic. Was the first-round co-leader after firing a 6-under 65. Added three steady rounds to finish T5, a then career-best performance that bettered his T7 at the 2009 Melwood Prince George's County Open.

Followed up the next week with another T5 finish at the Chattanooga Classic.

Finished T2, a career-best, two starts later at the inaugural Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open. A 6-under 64 in the second round put him in contention. He finished one-stroke back of winner David Mathis. 2009: Finished T7 at the Melwood Prince George's County Open, a career-best performance that bettered his T9 at the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic in 2008. 2008: Made six cuts in seven starts on the Nationwide Tour, with a T9 performance at the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic. He posted a 7-under 63 in the second-round. Was T19 at the Utah Championship, his only other top-25. 2007: Made two cuts from three events with a season-best T21 at Northeast Pennsylvania Classic.

Won the Connecticut State Open. 2006: Best finish was T21 at Chitimacha Louisiana Open, one of two cuts made from the six events he played.
