Played junior hockey for the Richmond Sockeyes, Surrey Eagles and the Bay County Blizzard of the CEHL. Says playing junior hockey in Bay City, Mich., was his biggest thrill outside golf.

Favorite courses are the Four Seasons Punta Mina, The Hideaway and Royal Montreal GC. Would most like to play Augusta National and Cypress Point.

Favorite TV shows are "The Walking Dead" and "Californication." Favorite foods are tacos, lamb chops and ribeye steak and top athletes to watch are Tom Brady, Tiger Woods and Pavel Datsyuk. Favorite movies are "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Heat," "Man on Fire" and "The Godfather." Favorite artists are Michael Buble, Coldplay and Justin Timberlake. Favorite books are Putting Out of Your Mind and Tom Brady vs. The NFL. Favorite cities to visit are Los Angeles and San Diego, and he enjoys vacationing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, San Diego and San Francisco. Favorite college teams are the USC Trojans and Oregon Ducks, and his favorite pro team is the New England Patriots. Keeps energy bars and dried fruit in his bag as snacks. Never travels without his headphones.

Dream foursome would include Tom Brady, Tiger Woods and Al Pacino. Not many people know he did not start playing golf seriously until 2005.

Personal motto is "Work hard, play hard."
