Christian Brand and I started golf at 13 when a few middle school friends went to play. I played basketball, baseball and ran track when I was younger, but nothing challenged me like golf did so I stuck with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You attended Marshal University. What did the Thundering Herd program provide for the development of your game?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2. Marshall University, like an D1 program allowed me to flourish through my own accord. I was self driven. Time management and priorities was my biggest lesson in college.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
