Chicopee, MA - With COVID-19 stalling our fall season, the Elms College Athletic Department will be showcasing our first year Blazers every Friday. Next up is our Golf program. Follow along and get to know more about your fellow Blazers!

Favorite high school sports memory- It was actually while playing Tennis, I was down 0-6 in a first to seven tie breaker and won 8 straight points to win the match.
What brought me to Elms College?
-The location, school size, and offerings are the main factors which led me to Elms. They had my major, and a quality golf program to play for.
What made Elms stick out to you more than other college interests?
-The one-on-one that you can receive from professors and faculty is what separates Elms from other colleges. You feel important, and as though the staff is there to help you succeed.
What are my pregame rituals?
Take deep breaths, try to stick to a similar warm up. Don't do anything out of the ordinary.
What's a quote you live by and why?
"Try and fail, but never fail to try" - I have known this quote from a young age, and I've turned to it when nervous to try or do something I haven't before.
Who inspires me to be the driven student athlete I am?
-Myself, my coach, and my girlfriend all motivate me everyday, and remind me to be the best version of myself.
