“The opportunity to join Coach Martin’s staff and work with these incredibly talented players is one that I could not be more excited about. The environment and energy surrounding this program is truly something special and I look forward to facilitating these players in any way I can to help them reach their goals. My own personal objective is to not only grow great athletes, but all around excellent young men that can be successful at whatever they choose. My belief is that athletes perform their best on the course, when they first become the best overall versions of themselves."
