Your First Job: When I was 9, I picked up range balls every day during the spring/summer, half of which I probably hit myself. Even now, I am occasionally caught picking the short game area at Poppy Hills.
Previous Involvement in Golf: I serve on the boards of the AT&T Pebble Beach Jr. Golf Associa- tion and Nicklaus Club – Monterey. I previously sponsored two
Web.com events with Chiquita/Fresh Express, and I played college golf at the University of Notre Dame. I also worked at a golf course from ages 9-20.
