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

Selecting the Right Coach to Elevate Both Skill and Mindset

Improvement in tennis or pickleball is rarely linear. It requires more than practice — it requires guidance, perspective and a relationship built on trust. At The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch, we believe that selecting the right coach is one of the most critical decisions a player can make in their development, whether they are just beginning their journey or striving for high-performance refinement.
