June 2013Personal Statement
It has been my dream since I was young to attend college, earn a business degree, and compete on a collegiate golf team at a high level. I compete on my high school team and play summer golf tournaments on the Wisconsin junior and amateur circuit, as well as some national junior tournaments. I aspire to be the best golfer I can be and I look at every day as a new opportunity to learn and improve. I have played varsity all three years at Appleton East, and played number one the past two years. I have been First Team All Conference and First Team All Area the past two years, and have also been an All State team member the past two years. This year I was also All Area Player of the Year. I have become a good pressure player, I have been in 5 sudden death playoffs in my career and have won all 5.
