Still soaking this one in… 
It’s a humbling and surreal experience to see your story and photos in print, especially in a publication like @coloradoavidgolfer. I’ve been fortunate to experience some incredible moments in athletics, but this one just hits different.

Maybe it’s because I’m a husband and a father to two amazing little girls. Maybe it’s because my career is outside the world of golf. Or maybe it’s the quiet pride of chasing something simply because you love it. 

A special thanks to @samadamsdoescomedy who came out of retirement just to write this story. That alone means more than I can put into words. Sam, my utter appreciation for not only seeking me out but for telling this story with such care. You are simply gifted! 

Grateful, grounded, and motivated for what’s ahead.

Special thanks to my partners:
