00:00I had a lot going on in college. Golf team, fraternity. I met my wife there. We met.

00:08You were in a frat?

00:10I was, yeah.

00:11What frat were you in?

00:13Kappa Alpha.

00:14Kappa Alpha? Talk to me about the frat at Kappa Alpha.

00:17We had a great time. I'm not going to go into extreme detail.

00:21You don't have to go into extreme details. Did y'all win any flag football championships?

00:28What were we known for at Kappa Alpha?

00:30Uh, probably would have won the social award. Maybe a few parties here and there.

00:34Okay. All right. Say less.

00:37We had, you know, great people, really smart. Duke is kind of a work hard, party hard school.

00:41So there's some really, really smart people that I was around. And a lot of them kind of

00:45went to New York to work there. And I'm still very good buddies with them.

00:48Fortunate to kind of grow that social life instead of just the golf team.

00:53So a lot of cool people that I met at Duke. And so with the fraternity, with the wife,

00:59she was on the tennis team. I would go to tennis matches, school, golf. I think I was just very

01:04split mentally across a lot of different avenues. So that's probably why I didn't have success in

01:11college as a golfer. But each year I still got better. Like I got worse my freshman,

01:15sophomore year. But then by the time senior year rolled around, I was a lot better.

01:19And then I graduated and I wasn't quite ready. I had met Jeff, my coach.

01:24I think it was sophomore year. And he was kind of a big turning point for me.

01:28Because one, I think he's very knowledgeable as a coach in terms of maybe what positions you need

01:34to be, how to fix your swing and stuff like that. But he's also always willing to learn new things.

01:39And he has experience with pros. So when I graduated college, I talked with my parents

01:44and first time I've ever not lived on the East Coast, I moved to Las Vegas to spend time with

01:52Jeff. When he was home, I would work with him. And whenever he was free, I would kind of work

01:58with him. So I was able to get a lot of time with someone who's very knowledgeable and grow

02:03my skill level and how to practice and just totally just everything was with Jeff. And so

02:09what after two years in Vegas, so that I moved back east to Florida to medalist and felt like,

02:16you know, I could surround myself with some really good players once I kind of got my skill level to

02:19a spot where it needed to be. Right. And then it was kind of kind of off and running. But like

02:24those two years in Vegas, it was almost like I graduated college and I kind of locked myself down

02:29for a year or two. I played on the Canadian tour, but again, didn't really have a ton of success.

02:34But I think I attribute kind of my success now to those two years of,

02:38of learning how to become a professional.
