Hey Everyone!  Well, as most of you know, Shingle Springs was my last tournament as a touring professional and I'm sure you are wondering what my reasons for stopping were and what my plans for the future are.  But before getting to that I would just like to say thank you to everyone who supported me during the last couple of years as I was playing on the tour.  It was really an amazing experience to have so many people interested in what I was doing and following my progress as I traveled from tournament to tournament.  The emails and letters of encouragement that I received from you really went a long way in helping me to stay positive and focused on what I was doing.  For those of you who also helped to support me financially I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be out there on tour doing what I love to do and trying to accomplish my dream.  Unfortunately it's come to an end as I've gone through all my savings and sponsorship funds and since I wasn't able to contribute as much as I was hoping to in the way of prize money, I've come to the point in my career where I decided it is time to stop.
