His earliest golf memory was playing golf at Paa-Ko Ridge in Albuquerque for the first time.
Says if he weren't a pro golfer he'd seek to be an astrophysicist or astronaut.
His biggest thrill in golf is stepping up to a really important or challenging shot and pulling it off under pressure.
Enjoys playing Paa-Ko Ridge, Saticoy CC, TPC Sawgrass and any Desert Mountain course.
Would love to play Augusta National or anywhere "really sweet" in the Pacific Northwest.
His favorite teams as a kid were the Chicago Bulls, Denver Broncos, Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Penguins and any University of New Mexico team.
He never travels without a Metallica t-shirt.
His superstition is he will keep playing the same ball for an entire round if "it's treating me OK and not too scuffed up." He'll then save the ones from good rounds for his shag bag.
Favorite TV shows include "Family Guy," "Archer," "Louie" and anything science-related. Favorite movies include "Fight Club," and "Cloud Atlas." Enjoys any food with green chile. Favorite dining spot is Sadie's in Albuquerque. Favorite athletes in another sport include LeBron James, Wes Welker, Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, Larry Bird and Rafael Nadal. Favorite vacation spots are Bigfork in Montana, Vancouver and Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada, Banff, Jasper and Glacier National Parks and anywhere in Southern California.
Says he'd love to trade places for a day or longer with anyone about to go to the moon or another body farther away.
Is a big Metallica fan.
Was a "borderline professional" video gamer in high school and competed in many leagues and tournaments.
His dream foursome would include Teddy Roosevelt, Tiger Woods and Titanic Thompson.
Bucket list includes winning every major, playing on a Ryder Cup team, meeting Metallica and going into space.
