Personal
Enjoys going to coffee shops and having conversations with people.
Would like to use his degree in finance to help others make the proper investments and manage their money properly.
Favorite place to visit are the North Carolina beaches because it's the place he finds most relaxing and where he can decompress.
Neither of his parents play golf, so he picked up the sport on his own because he liked the game and the challenge.
Favorite athletes are Tim Tebow, Tiger Woods and Rod Brindamour. Favorite teams are the Carolina Hurricanes, Carolina Panthers and any of the North Carolina State teams.
