College you plan to attend: Baylor University

Why did you choose this college: I really wanted to play Division 1 golf and everything fell into place at Baylor and it was just icing on the cake that they have a great program. I love the coach, the players and the facilities at Baylor. It’s far enough away from home that I can be independent but at the same time its close enough to go home in case of an emergency. I had the opportunity to play collegiate basketball as well but when it came time to decide which sport I wanted to play it was easy to pick golf because I honestly enjoy practicing golf for long hours as opposed to practicing basketball for long hours.

Goals for college?
I aspire to make the Academic All American Team as a Baylor golfer as well as make the actual All American Team. I would like to be part of a NCAA championship team and better my teammates.

Subject you plan to major in?
Business Finance

Future Aspirations?
To play on the PGA Tour

Hobbies/Interests?
Mentoring others, fishing, Ultimate Frisbee, listening to music, being social, napping

What will you miss most about Boerne? I will miss how tightly knit the community is and being able to know and keep up with so many different people. Also, I will miss all the great friends I have made at Cordillera and the chance to play such a fantastic course most any day of the week.

If you could meet one person dead or alive, who would it be and what would you ask them?
Tiger Woods, and I would ask him what really happened?

Favorite quote? It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain an idea without accepting it- Aristotle

Where Do You Spend Your Time?

I recently read a story retold by the father of a young family of three that included himself, his wife and their young daughter. According to his recounting, after dinner they were each challenged to share an object symbolic of how they would describe one another to a stranger. When it was the daughter’s turn to share the item she thought to be representative of her father, she produced a cell phone. At her young age, she wasn’t taking a sarcastic “shot” at her dad, rather, it was how she truly saw him when he was home.
