Older sister, Danielle, played college golf at the University of West Florida. Younger brother, Spencer, plays golf at the University of West Florida. Father also played college golf at the University of West Florida and was an All-American.
Would choose "Wild Thing" by the Troggs as his first-tee walk-up song.
At age 5, begged the golf association in Pensacola to let him play in the 6-7 age group because it was the youngest age group. Was allowed to play despite his age, and he won his first tournament.
Biggest thrills outside golf include watching the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome, reeling in a big red fish or shooting a big buck.
Golf superstitions include using a half dollar as a marker, always keeping tees in his left pocket and a coin and one pencil in his right.
Not many people know he was named Altar Server of the Year for the State of Florida in the eighth grade.
Charitable involvements include The First Tee of Northwest Florida and the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
