THE BDSA CHANGES LIVES
“I can honestly say the BDI was the junior event that influenced me most during my junior golf career.”
“With this degree, I want to start some kind of recruiting website or a foundation that helps Native American athletes get their names out there to college coaches. I want to see Native Americans succeed. Thank you for helping fund my education so I can make my dreams come true but hopefully in the future make other people’s dreams come true. I want to see Native Americans succeed.”
