My international journey began in Hong Kong, where I was introduced to golf at the age of three at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club. What started as a playful introduction soon became a familiar presence in my life.

I was raised in a grounded family that valued education, respect, and strong moral principles. My parents encouraged curiosity and supported my brother and me in exploring the sports we naturally gravitated toward. While football initially took center stage, I was already watching Tiger Woods and was captivated by his dominance, focus, and winning mentality. Even then, golf was quietly planting its roots — laying the foundation for what would later become my life’s pursuit.

At age six, my journey took me to Texas — a move that would quietly shape my future in the game. For the first time, I lived on a golf course, placing the sport quite literally in my backyard. What began as curiosity soon turned into hours of exploration, practice, and play.

Surrounded by the game each day, my connection to golf deepened naturally. The environment didn’t just offer access — it nurtured consistency, patience, and a growing desire to improve. Without fully realizing it at the time, I was building the habits that would later support my development as a competitive golfer.

In 2009, I returned to the Netherlands — a move that brought new structure to both my life and my development in sport. Three years later, I became a member of Eindhovensche Golf Club, where my relationship with the game began to mature.

What had once been pure enjoyment gradually evolved into ambition. As the years progressed, I felt an increasing pull toward golf — drawn to its challenge, its discipline, and the personal accountability it demands. By my mid-teens, it had become clear that golf was no longer just something I played, but something I wanted to seriously pursue.

In 2016, I made a decisive move to Sotogrande, Spain, to train at the Jason Floyd Golf Academy — marking the first time I left home specifically to pursue my development as a golfer.

Immersed in a high-performance environment, my game progressed rapidly. Over the course of two years, my handicap dropped from high single figures to scratch, and I competed in my first international events, including the Honda Junior Classic in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Alongside golf, I completed my International A-Levels in economics and business, learning early how to balance performance, discipline, and responsibility — both on and off the course.

In 2018, I moved to Arizona on a golf scholarship and joined an international collegiate team with players from around the world. For the first time, I was fully responsible for structuring my own life — balancing academics, high-level golf, and personal growth without direct guidance.

That independence accelerated my development both on and off the course. I became the youngest captain in the program’s history and was awarded the Burt Watkins Award, recognizing the player who best represents integrity and sportsmanship.

As a team, we won our regional tournament, and we finished the season ranked 5th in the nation in NJCAA Division I.

From 2019 to 2023, I studied and competed at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida. Entering a new environment with higher expectations, I was again trusted with leadership within the team.

Over these years, I developed consistency both on and off the course, contributing to the program’s progress and helping the team achieve its lowest season scoring average in program history. In my final season, we won our first tournament in over seven years, reflecting the work and belief built over time.

Alongside competition, I was named to the Sunshine State Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll, graduated cum laude, and completed my Master’s degree in Business Management (MBA), reinforcing my commitment to discipline, balance, and long-term performance.

In 2023, I returned to the Netherlands and transitioned into professional golf, competing in my first professional events later that year. As I gained experience, it became clear that long-term progress required structure and the right expertise around me.

During this period, I committed to a technical swing change and began building a dedicated team to support my development. Working closely with my coaches, we established clear goals and focus points, creating a framework that allowed my development to accelerate.

In November 2025, I earned my Alps Tour card in Rome, marking an important milestone in my career. My 2026 season begins in February in Egypt, as I continue to grow within the professional game.
