Graduated from Stanford in 2017 with a degree in Management Science & Engineering.
Has three brothers, Dakota, Colt and Scout, who also play golf. The four sons are named after American cars because their grandfather worked in the Detroit auto industry: Ford Maverick, Dodge Dakota, Dodge Colt, Jeep Scout.
He and his brothers all shared a room growing up.
Alongside his three brothers, grew up playing ice hockey. Played more hockey than golf until graduating high school and deciding to pursue on one sport.
Since high school, has worked with Curriki, a non-profit whose mission is to make high-quality education free and accessible for everyone. In 2019, launched “Birdies for Education” and donated $20 for every birdie, a figure matched by his sponsors.
