Started playing golf when he was young and was bribed with ice cream to practice by his dad.

Favorite golf course he has played is Olympia Fields outside Chicago, in part due to the fact he posted an ace during a round on the course.

In December 2012 as a freshman in college, was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. Supports the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.

Aspirations outside of golf include building his own home.

Played golf at Florida State and is a huge FSU fan.
