At the age of ten he ventured out to Cobb’s Creek Golf Club where he fished golf balls out of the creeks and sold them to the profes- sional, Andy Pettineo, Sr. Soon he was caddying and playing golf there.

He lettered four years and won the East Coast Conference individual cham- pionship in his senior year. He was inducted into the Drexel University ath- letic hall of fame in 2007.
