A decade seems like quite a long time, but for me, a lot has happened in what feels like a short period. It seems like just yesterday we were walking across the stage at the BancorpSouth Arena. Shortly after we all graduated, I made my way down to Baton Rouge to attend Louisiana State University. During my five years there I managed to get my undergraduate degree in Journalism with a minor in Business Administration and my Masters in Sports Management, all while playing for the LSU Tiger golf team. Immediately following my time with the Tigers, I made my way back towards home for a few years. I was the assistant golf coach at Ole Miss for two seasons before heading back down to LSU to take the assistant coaching job back down here. I'm finishing up my third year back with the Tigers, as we are getting ready to enter postseason play. During my time back at LSU, I've had the pleasure of coaching the 2011 NCAA Individual Champion and both years our team has finished 3rd in the NCAA Championship, missing out of a National Championship last year by just two strokes.

God has blessed me with so many wonderful opportunities over the past 10 years. I have been able to see some wonderful and amazing places. Through college golf I have been able to go to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Germany, Italy, and Denmark, among other places. I've also been to meet some amazing people and many have become great friends. Life is only as good as the people you are able to spend it with and I was lucky to spend most of my school years with you guys. Can't wait to see you all soon. And GEAUX TIGERS!
