Made an incredible comeback to the European Tour in 2019. Having retired from tour life in 2017 - after 193 appearances on tour - to become a teaching pro, he was convinced by a student to have another shot at Qualifying School before progressing through all three stages to earn his card for the 2020 campaign.

Comes from a sporting family: his father was a professional basketball player and his mother played professional tennis. Almost chose tennis over golf, but dedicated himself to the latter and turned professional in 2004.

Started on the Alps Tour and progressed to the Challenge Tour, and graduated for the European Tour by finishing 17th on the 2005 Challenge Tour Rankings.
