For Christmas my Mom framed pin flags from golf courses I’ve worked, interned, or volunteered at since I started in turf at 12. Beyond blessed for all who have given me these opportunities thus far. Grateful for the past, excited for the future.
Been busy the last few weeks down here at @21golfclub. The property, the place, and the people are all surreal and I’m grateful to be apart of it all. Pre-plant down today and sprigs tomorrow…. Let’s get after it!

One more month of these views @BlacksburgCC before I’m south bound and down for the summer to @21golfclub with @Jspitler51. Can’t wait to gain some upper level C4 knowledge during the grow in!
Great time playing in the @ODGCSA scholarship tournament today at The Dominion Club with @VereensS. This place is #sweet. Worth the missed class today given the perfect weather and the awesome course!
First day back on the ole fairway mower with @MatthewKTurf. I’ll take this first Blacksburg false spring…. Time to grab clubs and soak up this 75 degree day.
Good times in Orlando with eight of our #Turfgrass Club members competing in the Collegiate Turf Bowl at the 2026 @GCSAAConference. I’ve enjoyed connecting these guys with our many @VTTurfgrass alumni and supporters of #Hokie Nation!

Successfully defended my master’s thesis today! Beyond thankful for my committee and their support every step of the way. Grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had as a master’s student at Virginia Tech and I’m excited to continue working on a Ph.D at Penn State!
Great week at the Carolina’s show, first time attending this one and it did not disappoint. Thank you to @VereensTurf and @redoxgrows for hosting two great evening events.
The 310yd par four eighth at Blacksburg CC is one of my favorite holes in golf. Aesthetically, you look past the green as it drops into a valley with mountains surrounding with the famous red barn to the right. Strategically, each bunker determines club selection off the tee.
