Attended Rockville High in Rockville, Maryland where he was a member of the school's soccer team that won the Maryland State Championship in 1996.

Names Bobby Heins and Michael Breed as the golf instructors he has had.
Winged Foot, Kiawah Ocean Course and the Bear's Course are his favorite golf courses.
Uses a crushed $1 coin as his ball marker.
Not many people know that he is an ambidextrous and that he was a soccer player before he picked up golf.
His personal motto: "Always treat others as you would like to be treated."
His favorite charities are PSU Dance Marathon and the Met PGA Junior Golf Program.
Considers his PGA TOUR Championship starts as the biggest thrill he has ever had in golf.
