College--2013-14 (Sr.)—He played in four fall tournaments overall, three in the fall and one in the spring, all as an individual where his rounds didn’t count toward CU’s team score. His top two efforts came back-to-back out of the gate, as he tied for 25th (219, +3) at the Air Force Miranda Invitational and followed that up with a tie for 11th in CU’s own Mark Simpson Invitational (220, +4); the latter was his second best finish at Colorado, nearly matching his ninth place effort in the same meet a year earlier. In his only spring action, he tied for 11th in the Hawaii-Hilo Amer Invitational. In the fall, he was eighth in the nation in sand saves (80.0 percent).

2012-13 (Jr.): He owned a stroke average of 75.94 for 18 rounds, as he returned to collegiate golf after a two-year absence. He turned in CU’s second-best effort at the Pac-12 Championships, tying for 32nd with a 295 (+15, 72-74-74-75) scorecard, which earned him a spot on the Buffs’ NCAA regional travel squad. He struggled a bit in that tournament, posting an 80-85-80-245 (+29) to tie for 66th. In the Wyoming Cowboy Classic, he opened with an 85 but came back with a 69 in the second and final round; the 16-stroke improvement tied for the fourth best from one round to the next in school history. He played in two fall tournaments as an individual, making a solid debut with a ninth place finish in the CU-Mark Simpson Invitational. He was tied for second after the first two rounds (67-71-138), scoring two eagles on the day in his first competitive collegiate rounds in two years; he shot a final round 73 to finish at 5-under 211 on a course on which he had practiced only a couple of times. He tied for 53rd in the New Mexico Tucker Invitational (230, +14) in his other fall action. He joined the team the second week of school after playing well in walk-on qualifying. He transferred to CU in the fall of 2011, but had the desire to once again play college golf after playing a season-and-a-half at Towson University.

At Towson (2009-10/2010-11; Fr./Soph.)-He lettered as a freshman at Towson (Md.) University under coach Brian Yaniger, playing in 11 of the team’s 13 events; he played four of six fall events as a sophomore before transferring closer to home to attend the University of Southern Maine for the spring semester. He was a candidate for the Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Year honor as a freshman, when he averaged 75.3 strokes per round (fourth-best on the team including a 73.9 mark for the fall). He had four top 30 and eight top 40 finishes on the year, with his best a tie for 22nd at both the George Washington Invitational and the Princeton Invitational; of his 31 rounds as a frosh, 25 of them were 77s or better. He played in the Southeast Regional as a freshman, finishing 53rd (80-69-73-222), the second best team effort with his second round 69 his best individual score for the year. As a sophomore, he had his best performance at TU, tying for sixth in Austin Peay State’s F&M Bank Intercollegiate with a 10-under 206 effort (68-68-70).

High School--He lettered four times in golf, winning the Maine Class B state title his senior year. He led Cape Elizabeth to the 2006 and 2008 state championships and earned All-State honors his sophomore through senior seasons, being named the state’s MVP for the latter. He also was a three-time letterman in lacrosse (attack), earning All-State honors as a junior and senior.

Other--2012: He won the Maine Amateur Match Play Championship in Vassalboro (winning the title match with a 6 and 4 result after shooting a 30 on the front nine).
