PGA Tour Player

Middle Tennessee State University - NCAA Champion

3x PGA Club Professional Champion

Senior Players Champion

I was struggling as a club professional, running into various problems, including the man I was working for - but really, most of my problems were with myself. Along the way I kept meeting and associating with very devout Christians. It finally kind of dawned on me one day that maybe the Lord was trying to tell me something. I became very interested.

There was a man named Will Criswell in Kentucky who had a church there and who was also a very good golfer. He'd done some prison time over some things he'd done. But while he was in prison, he found the Lord. He's now an ordained minister. It's an amazing story of how his wife and children stuck with him through the whold ordeal. He told me that if the Lord could use him this way, He could do the same with me. And that's what happened.

Well, actually, it was a series of things that happened. About the same time, I wasn't happy in my job as a club professional. I felt an awful lot of pressure from the membership. It was time for me to leave and give my career a shot. I did a lot of soul-searching and, late, a lot of praying, because it was definately a big gamble for me. I invested my life savings to come out here and play this Tour."
