Career Highlights

2011: Was steady during the year and made 16 cuts in 25 starts. Had eight top-25 finishes but only one top-10, a T4 at the Utah Championship. Fired opening rounds of 65-66 and was in third place, two strokes behind the leader and eventual winner J.J. Killeen. Was never higher than No. 46 and never lower than No. 78 on the Nationwide Tour money list. 2010: In his rookie season made the cut in 18 of 28 starts and wound up No. 29 on the final money list.

Had 11 top-25 finishes and five top-10s during the year.

Contended for the title and finished T11 at the season-ending Tour Championship at Daniel Island but failed to move up on the money list.

Also finished No. 11 in Total Birdies and T10 in Total Eagles for the season.

Finished T9 in his first career Nationwide Tour start, the Michael Hill New Zealand Open.

Finished T5 at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open. After firing a 74 in the opening round, he rallied with rounds of 66-68-68. It was his fifth consecutive made cut to begin the season.

At the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic in July, posted his third top-10 finish of the year. Fired a career-best, 9-under 63 in the first round. His final-round 65 left him five shots back of his college teammate and winner, Peter Tomasulo. A career-best T4 finish moved him from No. 33 on the money list to No. 19.

.Solid play continued the next week at the Chiquita Classic where he posted four rounds in the 60s and a T10, his fourth top-10 of the year.

Recorded his fifth top-10 of the year with a T3 at the Cox Classic, where he shared the 54-hole lead at 17-under par. Fired a final-round 68 but chances at victory were dashed by three bogeys and a double bogey. Managed to close with back-to-back birdies to move into T3. Improved six places to No. 12 on the money list. 2009: Finished third on the Canadian Tour order of merit, having won twice (Edmonton Open and the Riviera Nayarit Classic). Has also played in the past on the Korean Tour, Pepsi Tour and California Players Tour.
Personal

Involved with the Oakland Children's Hospital and wore the hospital logo on his shirt during the 2010 season. Donated money to the hospital for every birdie he made (350) during the year.

Non-golf related jobs held include assistant account executive with an advertising company. Biggest thrill in golf was winning for the first time on the Canadian Tour on the same day as his dad's birthday. Biggest thrill outside of golf was getting stitches in his head for the first time.

Favorite golf course is Punta Mita GC in Mexico. Would most like to play Augusta National.

Never travels without his toothbrush. Favorite professional team is the Oakland A's. Lucky charm is a car-wash coin uses to mark his ball. Favorite entertainer is Chris Rock.

Other favorites include The Art of Happiness, Korean food and LeBron James. Likes to visit Los Angeles and favorite vacation destination is Mexico.

Dream foursome would include The Rock, Kat Williams and Bernie Mac.

Not many people know that he cuts his own hair. Bucket list includes skydiving, scuba diving and surfing.
