Started playing golf at age three.

Has always played golf cross-handed. Picked up a plastic club that way when he was three and never changed his grip.

After signing a letter of intent to attend the University of Nevada, elected to turn pro and invested his college money into commercial real estate and the stock market.

Dad, Robert, played semi-pro hockey and later was the general manager of a junior team.

Favorite golf memory is playing with Colin Montgomerie in a PGA TOUR Champions pro-am and then watching Montgomerie go on and win the event at Bear Mountain in Victoria, British Columbia.

Played competitive ice hockey until he was 16.

Has consistently participated in a hospital charity fundraising event at Cowichan GC in support of his mentor, head professional Norm Jackson.
