Nickname: Scotty I

Birth Place: Somers Point, New Jersey

Currently Living: Northfield, New Jersey

Profession: I am a Professional Long Driver with aspirations of making the Nationwide Tour and/or PGA Tour. I teach golf in the summer months and I work construction in off-season.

Years Golfing: 12 Years

Why Alpha? Alpha plain and simple makes a solid product. After using all the other equipment out there, I found that ALPHA has the most feel. Not to mention I hit the drivers a long way past all others….

Team Member Since: 2009

After a bad round, what motivates you to get up and do it again? Well, if I have a bad round, one of my friends is walking away with my cash! So, that motivates me to get back out there tomorrow and get it all back + some!!

Favorite course: Twisted Dune Golf Course in Egg Harbor Twp. New Jersey

Describe your perfect day: My perfect day…. On an Island in the tropics, I don’t care which one because they are all amazing! But I would start the day out going deep-sea fishing for giant Tuna with a boat full of the ones that are closet to me. Following the fishing, we would hit the links up for a quick 9. After the round we’d hit up a beachfront restaurant at sun set, hopefully eating our catch of the day, having a few cocktails and enjoying life!

Longest Drive (incl. location/event): In competition, 385yds 2feet 4inches, to win a local qualifier for the ReMax Long Drive. That was in Swell, NJ

Favorite Alpha club and why: I am a big fan of the Alpha’s Plasma C830.2 driver. The durability of this club is fantastic! I find myself in the fairways more times than not and I am able to really work the ball with this club. The driver sets up great and is very appealing to the eyes!

On the course or on the tee? I would have to say the course…. I love the challenges the same course presents you every day. You are never left with the same shot twice.  Golf Courses are my favorite place to be…

Most inspired by: The Ol’ Bean, that’s what I call my Father. Right or wrong he always stands at my side and pushes me to reach that next level, not only on the golf course, but also as a human being.

Favorite Tunes: I love Country music, which is weird being from New Jersey, but I listen to just about everything… Even the Classic Oldies!
