1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How long have you been working at Chapman \/ how did you get here?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This fall is my 7th\u00a0official year. I had voluntarily assisted previously with Coach Wheatley for 3 years while I was a PGA Teaching Professional at Tustin Ranch Golf Course.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What\u2019s your favorite story from working at Chapman?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite story is about our strength and conditioning coach, Kevin Ashton.\u00a0During one of our annual end of the season Golf Booster golf tournaments he made a hole in one!\u00a0If any one has had the pleasure of meeting Kevin in person knows that he is very strong and can handle any weight on the bench press.\u00a0This man hit a finesse shot with a hybrid club on a difficult par 3 into the cup. A legendary shot by a football guy at heart.\u00a0Of course he took off before he could buy everyone a soda at the finish as tradition mandates!\u00a0He definitely owes us one but we still got him a sweet trophy commemorating his rare feat.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What\u2019s the best part about working with student-athletes at Chapman?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I heard this interview on the radio a while back with a big time coach and his hiring at a major university. He was asked about the recent hire and he emphatically responded about how invigorated he was.\u00a0This describes my exact sentiment when I think about what is the best part of working with student athletes at Chapman.\u00a0Walking on campus, interacting with our student-athletes, and representing an absolutely wonderful institution are all reasons my experience here at Chapman has been life changing.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What was the best moment of your seven\u00a0years coaching at Chapman?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Needless to say I have many special moments in Coaching while here at Chapman.\u00a0 But I have to give you three.<\/p>\n

#1)\u00a0Qualifying for the National Championships with Emily Lewis in 2019.\u00a0She worked so hard to put herself into that position and to do it in just the program’s 3rd year of existence made it more remarkable.\u00a0There are many teams in our conference as well as in the nation that have never been.\u00a0I feel lucky and honored to have her represent us in Houston, Texas that year.<\/p>\n

#2) Bryan Wise winning the Jesse Clark Sportsmanship award for his senior year 2017.\u00a0 So well loved by the entire conference and was selected by the coaches after an intersquad vote.\u00a0He was a freshman my first year hired and I watched for 4 years how a student athlete could mature in every way possible.\u00a0From golf skill to socializing to leading (was my captain for 2+ years) he was a coach’s dream.<\/p>\n

#3) Griffin Tso winning the Jesse Clark\u00a0Sportsmanship award for his senior year 2019.\u00a0 This was a tear-jerker, not\u00a0a dry eye in the house as he was selected the winner of this award in 2019.\u00a0My first real recruit that I watched play and had family meetings with.\u00a0He was a protege of Bryan Wise and really looked up to him while he was an underclassman.\u00a0A unanimous choice for this honor, he was not only an All-SCIAC selection for his play but made some sincere friends with our competitors in the conference.\u00a0Truly a fine example of Chapman family and a home run future.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Anything else you want to say to alumni?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks for your current support Alumni, I truly believe golf is an all age sport.\u00a0 We can play from the single digit years to nearly the triple digit ones and have fun the whole way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
