I am deeply grateful for the support I have received throughout my golf journey from the Marquette community and from those in Spring Valley who have believed in me from the beginning. My path has been a unique one—professional golfers do not often emerge from a town of 1,400 people or from a mid-major program in the Midwest. Through perseverance, discipline, and the support of many, I have been fortunate to turn a lifelong dream into reality.

This month, I will take the next significant step in my career as I make my debut on the Korn Ferry Tour after earning medalist honors at Stage 1 and 2 of PGA Tour Q-School and winning the Minnesota State Open this past summer. Competing at this level provides the opportunity to test my game against some of the best players in the world, with the ultimate goal of earning a PGA Tour card.

As I begin this season, I am seeking grassroots support to help offset the substantial costs associated with professional golf, including travel, lodging, and caddie expenses. Any level of support is greatly appreciated and plays a meaningful role as I work to clear this important hurdle in my career.

Thank you for your continued belief, encouragement, and support as I pursue this next chapter.
